1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundDespite all efforts in Jordan to increase the demand and use of family planning services, many challenges have likely influenced fertility and contraceptive use outcomes. Improving accessibility and availability of family planning services and interventions to married women and their spouse is essential to improve pregnancy outcomes.

objectivesThis study reviewed the gray and peer-reviewed literature published between January 2010 and June 2022 that described family planning interventions implemented in Jordan and highlighted the gaps identified in the literature. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: For inclusion, primary studies that included information regarding family planning interventions implemented in Jordan were retained. SOURCES OF EVIDENCE: PubMed database was searched between 2010 till June 2022, as well as bibliographies of the retrieved literature were screened for the relevant literature. CHARTING

methodsInformation extracted from the interventions included author, publication year, study design and purpose, intervention name, aim of the intervention, population descriptor and sample size of the intervention, and impact of the intervention.

resultsA total of 10 studies that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. The studies described/assessed 10 different interventions including communication interventions, child preparation programs, evidence-based educational program, counseling interventions, pharmacist booklet on effective use of oral contraceptive pills and Village Health Center project. Five family planning interventions targeted women and five targeted health care providers. Three interventions targeted men, two targeted religious leaders, and two targeted community health committees. Many of the interventions suffered from a lack of a robust methodological framework.

conclusionThis scoping review showed that there is scarce information on the implementation of High Impact Practices in Family Planning in Jordan. The review identified a lack of robust evidence on the impact and effectiveness of family planning interventions on the access to and use of family planning services and methods. There is a need for developing, implementing, and evaluating family planning interventions that elicit a positive environment and encourage the use of family planning services.
