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
backgroundRacially and ethnically marginalized US women experience unintended pregnancy at twice the rate of White women. Understanding contraceptive attitudes can help identify women at increased risk of contraceptive non-use and unintended pregnancy. We assessed the contraceptive attitudes of US-born and foreign-born Black women and examined differences by nativity.
methodsWe used an electronic survey, implemented by Lucid LLC, a consumer research firm, to collect cross-sectional data from 657 reproductive-aged women. Analysis was limited to 414 Black women aged 18-44 years. The exposure variable was nativity (US-born or foreign-born), and the outcome variable was cumulative score on the 32-item Contraceptive Attitude Scale (CAS). Analysis included multivariable linear regression, adjusted for confounders. We also estimated separate models, stratified by nativity to identify predictors of contraceptive attitude among US-born Black women and foreign-born Black women, respectively.
resultsThree in four participants were US-born (76.6%). The average cumulative CAS score was 118.4 ±20.4 out of 160 indicating favorable contraceptive attitudes. In pooled analysis, foreign-born Black women had significantly lower contraceptive attitude scores compared to US-born women (adjusted regression coefficient (β)= -6.48, p=0.036). In nativity-stratified analysis, income, education, and perceived control over pregnancy timing were significant predictors of contraceptive attitudes for both US-born and foreign-born women. Other significant predictors of contraceptive attitude among US-born women were older maternal age, multi-parity, and perceived pregnancy risk; whereas, for foreign-born women, other significant predictors included marital status (married/cohabiting), language spoken predominantly at home (French), and perceived ability to have a baby and still achieve life goals (agree, neither agree nor disagree).
conclusionIn addressing the contraceptive needs of Black women, it is important to recognize the differences in attitudes towards contraception by nativity and provide culturally sensitive information and education.
