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

Objective: Weight stigma is widespread in healthcare. Few studies have assessed contraceptive counseling approaches for patients with bigger bodies. We aimed to assess the impact of a training program on changes in counseling knowledge for those delivering care in the US to patients with bigger bodies. Methods: From January 2024 to January 2025, we surveyed attendees of Continuing Medical Education (CME)-accredited training on delivering contraceptive care to patients with bigger bodies to assess clinical knowledge change. Results: Most providers lacked knowledge on contraceptive options and emergency contraception dosing and options for patients with bigger bodies at baseline. We found improved knowledge of clinical recommendations for contraceptive care for this population, improved emergency contraception counseling, and enhanced sensitivity in clinical practices both immediately-post and at 3-month post-training. Conclusions: Patients with bigger bodies deserve accurate clinical information and comprehensive access to contraception. To provide person-centered care for patients with bigger bodies, this training increased knowledge of how to deliver contraceptive care for this population.
