The influence of social media on patient and public perception of vasectomy: a narrative review.
Review in International journal of impotence research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This review explores the perception of vasectomy on social media to better understand the current online landscape of men's reproductive health. Evolving sociocultural values and drastic changes in the legal landscape have sparked important conversations about contraception among Americans. Effective contraception options are limited for men. Vasectomy is a safe, reliable, and affordable form of permanent contraception. Men's reproductive health is often stigmatized, and it is paramount to understand the drivers of this stigmatization, especially as interest in vasectomy appears to be rising. Cultural stigmatization is often reflected online. Social media has become ubiquitous in our culture, with both a broad reach and a strong societal influence. Other domains of reproductive health have seen substantial levels of misinformation online. While it is unclear how the male perception of vasectomy has evolved online over the past few years, the recent growing demand creates a unique avenue for urologists to engage in Men's Health both in the clinic and online. Urologist-driven efforts online present the opportunity to address misinformation and help ensure prospective patients are better informed regarding their options for contraception.
