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

The use of contraceptives to prevent unintended pregnancies is not widely accepted in developing countries due to social and cultural factors, lack of knowledge, and limited access to contraceptive services. This results in a relatively high incidence of repeat abortions in women with live births. The objective of this study is to understand the awareness of contraceptive use in women with live births women with previous live births who currently underwent an abortion (n = 272) and women who had a recent live birth (n = 323) voluntarily participated in this survey. Among women with previous live births, 22% did not use contraceptives in the past, and 41% well understood the importance of contraceptive use. There were no differences in educational levels, parity, and age at abortion between women who used and did not use contraceptives. However, after the current abortion, a significant increase in women who intend to use contraceptives in the future, from 78 to 93%, was observed. A significant reduction in women who do not intend to use contraceptives from 22 to 7.4% was also observed. 59% of women primarily seek knowledge of contraception from healthcare professionals. Among women with a recent live birth, 92% indicated their awareness of contraceptive use as they do not have a plan for the subsequent pregnancy. More than 91% of women discussed contraceptive use with partners. Our survey highlights the importance of education and promotion of the use of contraceptives in developing countries to prevent unintended pregnancy.
