Post-placental intrauterine device: expanding access to reproductive health in an African province.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAngola has scarce availability of contraceptive methods; the use of post-placental copper intrauterine device (PPIUD) is restricted due to lack of training among professionals and knowledge among women. PPIUD is safe, effective, and scalable solution on contraceptive planning.
objectivesTo implement PPIUD in two Angolan hospitals, evaluating the access, acceptability of patients and health professionals, and safety of the PPIUD.
methodsWe performed a prospective study in two Angolan hospitals located in the Province of Cuito, from November 2021 to March 2022, with follow-up durng 45 days after birth. Women were included independently of route of delivery, and excluded if presented anemia, infection, preterm labour, known uterine malformation, fever during labour or rupture of membranes > 24h. Clinical and demographical data was compared between women who retained PPIUD during follow-up.
results117 women were invited, and 83 were included (acceptance rate 70.94%),and 81.93% of pregnancies were unplanned. The majority were black (91,6%), had a relationship (59,4%), did not use contraception (63.86%), had 5 or more children (55.42%), and had up to 4 prenatal consultations (70.73%), with an average age of 29.76 (±5.71) years. There were 66.30% vaginal births and 33.70% cesarean sections. Expulsion rate of the PPIUD was 15.66%, most frequently observed after vaginal birth.
conclusionPPIUD was well accepted and maintained during the first follow-up assessment. The results support the implementation of PPIUD as feasible, representing an important opportunity to prevent unintended pregnancy by achieving women's contraceptive needs.
