Armed Conflict and Unwanted Births in Colombia.
Article in Journal of health and social behavior, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Armed conflict has been linked to fertility changes globally, but little is known about how reproductive autonomy is affected. Unwanted fertility is likely to occur during conflicts due to escalations of sexual violence and restricted access to contraception and abortion, especially among marginalized groups. Drawing on an intersectional lens of reproductive justice, this study investigates the relationship between women's exposure to local conflict violence and experiences of unwanted births in Colombia. The study is based on a nationally representative sample of 16,476 children born between 1999 and 2015, from the Demographic and Health Surveys, linked to spatiotemporal conflict data from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program. Results from fixed effects regressions show that exposure to conflict is indeed associated with a higher probability of experiencing unwanted births, especially among socioeconomically disadvantaged people. The study also evaluates how patterns vary by the frequency, intensity, duration, geographical scope, and type of conflict.
