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

Objective: To analyze the applicability of the World Health Organization's Methods: Countries prioritized by the Pan American Health Organization for technical cooperation in reproductive health were selected: Argentina, Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Honduras, Peru, and Uruguay. An exhaustive search was conducted for documents considered to be clinical practice guidelines on family planning, as well as other guidelines on related topics. Two simultaneous strategies were employed: a systematic search of published and indexed literature, and a gray literature search). Results: The applicability of each recommendation on self-care for reproductive health is described for each country in a "traffic light" table, where green means "implemented", yellow means "in the implementation process", and red means "not implemented". Conclusions: Favorable frameworks exist for interventions that promote the implementation of self-care strategies for sexual and reproductive health. The least developed thematic areas in the selected countries are: eliminating unsafe abortion and promoting sexual health. Only three countries in the Region of the Americas (Argentina, Colombia, and Uruguay) have laws that guarantee legal abortion and facilitate access to safe abortion. Although most countries in the Region do not guarantee the rights of transgender people, all countries except Guyana and Honduras provide hormones for them.
