The impact of male contraception on global sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Review in Contraception, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The right to health and other health-related human rights are legally binding commitments enshrined in international human rights instruments. While these positions are known and ratified by policy makers, little has been done to actualize men's sexual and reproductive health (SRH) as an integral part of attaining these important global goals. Not addressing men's SRH over and above supporting their female partners sustains the sexual and reproductive risks and burdens that women must bear. Advances in contraceptive technology with several male contraceptive candidates in advanced clinical trials bolsters expectations for a broader contraceptive method mix including greater choice of male contraceptives. This would potentially increase awareness and investments in the men's SRH and promote health systems strengthening and gender equity including shared responsibility for prevention of pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and HIV. This paper is a review and synthesis of published literature including research publications, reports, global policies and commitments and technical documents available online and in organizational repositories such as the World Health Organization (WHO) Institutional repository for information sharing (IRIS) on male contraception and men's SRH. We provide insights on the impact of male contraception including novel methods and the spillover effects on global SRH. We call on all stakeholders to invest in men's SRH since the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 3.7 on Universal access to SRH cannot be met without addressing this neglected topic.
