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

objectivesGiven the well-established link between hormonal contraceptives and hypertension risk, and the paucity of research on hormonal contraceptive use dynamics in this particular demographic, we hypothesize that there is a likelihood of low utilization of high-risk hormonal contraceptives among women living with hypertension in SSA. This study investigates the prevalence and factors associated with hormonal contraceptive use among women living with hypertension in the SSA.

resultsOnly 18.5% of women living with hypertension used hormonal contraceptives. Hormonal contraceptive use was high among women with a higher level of education (aOR = 2.33; 95%CI: 1.73-3.14), those currently working (aOR = 1.38; 95%CI: 1.20-1.59), those who have heard about family planning on the radio (aOR = 1.27, 95%CI: 1.09-1.47), listened to the radio at least once a week (aOR = 1.29, 95%CI: 1.10-1.51), and those residing in rural areas (aOR = 1.32; 95%CI: 1.14-1.54). Conversely, women aged 45-49 exhibited a substantial decrease in the odds of hormonal contraceptive use (aOR = 0.23, 95%CI: 0.14-0.38) compared to younger women (15-19 years). Likewise, the odds of HCU were low among cohabiting (aOR = 0.66; 95%CI: 0.48-0.89) and previously married women (aOR = 0.67; 95%CI: 0.50-0.91) than never married women.
