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

objectivesThis study aims to develop a greater understanding of why unintended pregnancies happen by exploring views on contraceptive use of both care providers and women with lived experience of an unintended pregnancy in the Netherlands.

methodsWe interviewed seven care providers involved in the care of women with unintended pregnancy in a focus group and individually interviewed 10 women with unintended pregnancy. We used reflexive thematic analysis.

resultsFour themes emerged around the understanding of (lack of) contraceptive use in unintended pregnancies: "contraception perceived as unnecessary," "psychosocial adversities," "absence of suitable contraception," and "failing contraception." Among the care providers, the first two themes were most clearly present. Among women with unintended pregnancy, the last two themes were mainly emphasized.

conclusionsWomen with unintended pregnancies mention a lack of suitable contraceptive options and failing contraception as important factors for unintended pregnancy, whereas care providers view the perception of contraception as being unnecessary and psychosocial adversity as important factors in unintended pregnancies. These differences point to the importance of explicitly asking about and addressing the perspectives of women in contraceptive counseling.
