Some key questions: Pregnancy intention screening by community health workers.

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
backgroundUnintended pregnancy contributes to a high burden of maternal and fetal morbidity in the United States, and pregnancy intention screening offers a key strategy to improve preconception health and reproductive health equity. The One Key Question
objectivesThis study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to the use of the One Key Question pregnancy intention screening tool by community health workers who serve reproductive-age women in Salt Lake City, Utah.
designUsing reproductive justice as a guiding conceptual framework, this study employed a qualitative descriptive design. Participants were asked to identify barriers and facilitators to the One Key Question, with open-ended discussion to explore community health workers' knowledge and perceptions about pregnancy intention screening.
methodsWe conducted focus groups with 43 community health workers in Salt Lake City, Utah, from December 2017 through January 2018. Participants were trained on the One Key Question algorithm and asked to identify barriers and facilitators to implementation. All focus groups occurred face-to-face in community settings and used a semi-structured facilitation guide developed by the study Principal Investigator with input from community partners.
resultsPregnancy intention screening is perceived positively by community health workers. Barriers identified include traditional cultural beliefs about modesty and sex, lack of trust in health care providers, and female bias in the One Key Question algorithm. Facilitators include the simplicity of the One Key Question algorithm and the flexibility of One Key Question responses.
conclusionOne Key Question is an effective pregnancy intention screening tool in primary care settings but is limited in its capacity to reach those outside the health system. Community-based pregnancy intention screening offers an alternative avenue for implementation of One Key Question that could address many of these barriers and reduce disparities for underserved populations.
