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

Sexual and reproductive health is an important aspect of a woman's health and her ability to access safe, effective, affordable, and acceptable forms of fertility regulation, including contraception. This commentary piece introduces the barriers and facilitators to community pharmacists' practising in sexual and reproductive health, and compares and contrasts interventions taking place internationally, compared to key clinical trials occurring in Australia on an expanded scope of community pharmacy practice, in prescribing the oral contraceptive pill (OCP). Modelling the practices already occurring in other high-income countries, Australia is striving to remove barriers and improve accessibility to contraceptive care, by enabling community pharmacists to prescribe contraception.
