Qualitative insights into the need for a contraception protocol from obstetricians' and gynecologists' perspectives.
Article in BMC women's health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundStudies on the use of contraception in the Saudi community highlight the need for improving community knowledge about contraception, implementing guidelines, and restricting contraception dispensing. However, there is a lack of studies assessing the need for contraception protocols from obstetricians' and gynecologists' (Ob/Gyn) perspectives. This study aimed to assess the need for a contraception protocol from the perspectives of Ob/Gyn physicians.
methodsQualitative in depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with a convenience sample that comprised physicians from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in a tertiary teaching hospital. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim and then analyzed using NVivo (QSR International) software.
resultsA total of 12 interviews were conducted and analyzed. Participants indicated a lack of prescribing restrictions and highlighted issues of low contraception literacy in Saudi communities, self-prescribing behaviors, health system organization, and physicians' knowledge. Participants perceived the need for a contraception protocol guiding the prescribing process and patient counseling without restricting prescribing. Moreover, participants highlighted a number of factors affecting the development and implementation of such a protocol, including the availability of contraception, the need for research by physicians, patient factors, and the expected increased load on the hospital.
conclusionsThis research described current practices, showed the need for a contraception protocol, and highlighted the factors affecting the development and implementation of such a protocol.
