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
objectiveThe International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FIGO) is positioned to work globally to improve contraceptive access and coverage; however, a lack of awareness regarding the contraceptive work conducted across its 139 professional member societies remains a concern. This study aimed to map the contraceptive landscape and programming across obstetric and gynecologic (OBGYN) member societies providing insights into the contraceptive work, challenges, and needs globally and identifying avenues for international collaboration.
methodsThis was a qualitative study utilizing a 17-item semi-structured interview guide among FIGO member societies. Purposive sampling and reputational case selection were used to identify interviewees. Interviews were conducted in English, Spanish and French, translated and transcribed by external consultants, and thematically analyzed using Dedoose software.
resultsSeventy member societies were included in the study and participation was well-distributed across all five FIGO regions. Among respondents, 19% reported their society had a specific and dedicated working group focused on contraception while 84% had national contraceptive guidelines. The majority indicated their priorities lay in training physicians in contraceptive skills and counseling, adolescent contraception, and addressing misinformation and cultural barriers. Moreover, respondents also stated they would be most interested in collaborative efforts focused on provider training, regional collaboration, community awareness, and guideline development.
conclusionDespite utilizing stakeholders who may not represent the full extent of society contraceptive programming, this study's strength lies in its large regional representation and sample size. Future efforts include strengthening regional collaboration, developing a global family planning network under FIGO and enhancing research and capacity building efforts.
