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

College students are at increased risk of sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies, complicated by changes in abortion access across the United States. The current study utilized a behavioral economic framework to examine how sex-related behavior, knowledge, and attitudes as well as access to abortion impacted valuation of condoms and an emergency contraceptive (i.e., morning after pill) among cis women college students (N = 109). Behavioral economic tasks included condom demand (ConPT) and condom delay discounting (ConDD) in the context of a one-night stand as well as a novel task assessing emergency contraceptive demand (ECPT). Tasks were completed twice under conditions where participants were instructed to imagine that abortion was either legal or illegal. Participants' self-reported sexual risk history as well as knowledge and attitudes toward contraceptives was also assessed. History of greater sexual risk behavior was significantly associated with lower valuation of contraceptives (i.e., ConPT, ECPT) and greater likelihood of having sex without a condom (i.e., ConPT, ConDD). Positive attitudes toward the morning after pill were significantly associated with greater demand in the ECPT. Relative to the abortion legal condition, greater valuation of contraceptives was observed in the ConPT, ConDD, and ECPT in the abortion illegal condition. Our findings support the utility of applying a behavioral economic framework to assess changing valuation of contraceptives among college students.
