Associations Between Income Status and Perceived Barriers to Using Long-Acting Reversible Contraception: An Exploratory Study.
Article in Frontiers in reproductive health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Barriers to long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) use in the United States have been described in prior studies, but few have focused on women's income status. We explored associations between income status and perceived LARC barriers in a community-based sample of reproductive-aged women. Methods: Non-pregnant, heterosexually active women aged 18 to 40 years completed a cross-sectional survey at a large community event in the Midwestern U.S. in 2018. Outcome measures were comprised of 26 survey items gauging perceived barriers to LARC use (e.g., access barriers, side effects). We estimated crude and age-adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs) for each outcome by participants' income status: low-income (≤ 200% of federal poverty guideline) versus higher income. Results: Low-income women ( Conclusion: Low-income women perceive more barriers to LARC access and more negative perceptions about use. While these associations also correlate with age, they nonetheless reflect concerns that impact contraceptive equity. Efforts to increase LARC access should address these barriers and focus on concerns more common among low-income women regarding LARC use.
