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

objectiveTo evaluate whether comorbidities (defined as both medical conditions and peripartum complications) are associated with inpatient postpartum permanent contraception by tubal surgery completion.

methodsThis is a secondary analysis of a multisite retrospective cohort study of patients who had documented plans for permanent contraception. Our primary outcome was inpatient completion of postpartum permanent contraception by tubal surgery. We used univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses to examine associations between aggregate and individual comorbidities and the attainment of inpatient postpartum permanent contraception.

resultsIn this study of 2,226 pregnant people, 53.4% of patients received postpartum permanent contraception by the time of hospital discharge, and 70.8% of patients had documented comorbidities. Although patients with medical conditions initially had lower odds of permanent contraception completion compared with those without any comorbidities (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.77, 95% CI, 0.64-0.93), this association was no longer significant after adjusting for multiple comparisons (adjusted P =.06). This association also was not significant for patients with peripartum complications (aOR 0.86, 95% CI, 0.64-1.16, adjusted P =.42). Similarly, when individual comorbidities were assessed, patients with hypertension (aOR 0.80, 95% CI, 0.65-0.97, adjusted P =.06), mental health diagnoses (aOR 0.80, 95% CI, 0.66-0.96, adjusted P =.06), and elevated body mass index (BMI, 40 or higher) (aOR 0.77, 95% CI, 0.63-0.95, adjusted P =.06) had no significant differences in odds of immediate permanent contraception attainment after adjusting for multiple comparisons.

conclusionsThough the balance of risks and benefits is imperative for surgical care, it is imperative that modifiable barriers to desired permanent contraception are mitigated. There were no statistically significant differences in inpatient postpartum permanent contraception attainment for patients with medical conditions in our study; however, further study is needed to better elucidate the complex relationships between medical comorbidities and contraception.
