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

Young adult Black women (YABW) report inadequate access to and experiences receiving sexual and reproductive health care. The purpose of this research was to examine perceived barriers to care among YABW. A nationwide sample of 500 YABW ages 18-22 years participated in an online survey. Participants reported on perceived logistical (knowledge, access, and cost) and stigma-based barriers (disclosure, discomfort, and judgment) to accessing prescription birth control, sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing, and abortion care. Bivariate analyses and multiple linear regressions assessed associations between outcomes and sexuality and relationship, behavioral, economic, sexual agency, stigma-related, policy, and state/community characteristics. A majority perceived at least one barrier to prescription birth control and STI testing (54 - 68%), and most perceived at least one barrier to abortion care access (79 - 80%). Perceived barriers to abortion care (logistical:
