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

In Argentina, Law 27610, which legalized voluntary termination of pregnancy, was the result of years of activism and political alliances. To monitor its implementation, between 2022 and 2024 an instrument was developed to assess the accessibility and quality of abortion services, considering users' experiences. We conducted a three-phase study that included expert panels, cognitive interviews, and a pilot test of the instrument with individuals who had undergone abortions. These efforts led to the creation of the questionnaire Measuring Accessibility and Quality in Abortion Services (MACA), which can be applied within the Argentine health system. This questionnaire can be used for monitoring purposes, to identify areas for improvement in health services, and to detect inequalities in access based on geographic and social characteristics.
