Stigma, Social Support, and Decision Satisfaction in Terminations of Pregnancy for Medical Reasons.
Article in Women's health reports (New Rochelle, N.Y.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: Existing abortion stigma research has rarely isolated the reason for termination; thus, the consequences of termination for medical reasons (TFMR) are poorly understood. We aimed to understand the association of stigma and social support with decision satisfaction in TFMR. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study on the experiences of 132 individuals who had a TFMR in the second or third trimester. We recruited participants Results: Results did not reveal an association between stigma and decision satisfaction, but showed that higher social support is associated with higher decision satisfaction. Decision satisfaction was higher in participants who experienced more than one source of support [ Discussion: Social support can alleviate the suffering related to TFMR. Exploring how different forms of social support, including therapy groups, can impact decision satisfaction might help develop interventions to improve postabortion outcomes. Practice Implications: Provider training must encourage providers to (1) support patients having a TFMR and (2) connect patients with other sources of support.
