Physician variation in adopting opportunistic salpingectomy at the time of postpartum and interval sterilization for ovarian cancer risk reduction.
Article in Gynecologic oncology, 2025. 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
objectivesTo examine variation in physician adoption of opportunistic salpingectomy (OS) for patients undergoing tubal sterilization. STUDY
designUsing the Premier Healthcare Database, we identified patients age 18-49 undergoing postpartum or interval sterilization between January 2011-June 2022. Risk-adjusted rate of OS was estimated for each physician-year. Subsequently, we used group-based trajectory models to identify latent groups of physicians following distinct patterns of uptake and examined factors associated with the distinct trajectory patterns.
resultsAmong 383,338 postpartum sterilizations (7550 physicians), OS increased from 0.1 % in 2011 to 14.3 % in 2022. Two physician adoption trajectories emerged: low (81.9 % of physicians; rate of OS: 0.049 % in 2011 and 6.1 % in 2022) and high (18.1 % of physicians; rate of OS: 0.02 % in 2011 and 55.3 % in 2022) adoption. Likewise, among 136,965 interval sterilizations (3401 physicians), OS rose from 1.4 % in 2011 to 65.9 % in 2022 with nearly equal number of physicians in the low (50.1 %; rate of OS: 0.6 % in 2011 and 25.7 % in 2022) and high (49.9 %; rate of OS: 0.6 % in 2011 and 95.8 % in 2022) adoption groups. Physicians with these distinct trajectories differed significantly in rural/urban location, geographic region, surgical volume, and patient composition. In particular, a 10-percentage-point increase in the proportion of Black patients was associated with lower odds of high adoption for both postpartum (aOR: 0.89, 95 % CI: 0.82-0.96) and interval (aOR: 0.89, 95 % CI: 0.84-0.94) sterilization.
conclusionsWhile OS increased over time, a substantial proportion of physicians remained low adopters. Geographic and demographic differences in adoption suggest potential inequitable access.
