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
backgroundInformed and self-determined decisions are a central element of human-rights-compliant abortion care. This article examines the framework conditions for informed, self-determined decisions and interdisciplinary cooperation from the perspectives of counsellors from pregnancy counselling centres in Germany. The data are based on a qualitative study conducted as part of a sub-project on psychosocial care within the joint project "Experiences and life situations of women with unwanted pregnancies-counselling and care services".
methodsIn the fourth quarter of 2022, six guided focus group interviews were conducted with 25 professionals at four locations and analysed using content-structuring analysis.
resultsInformed decisions are understood as a relational process that offers guidance beyond the transfer of knowledge. Information barriers, a lack of language mediation and social inequalities complicate the process, especially for migrants and people facing multiple challenges. Interdisciplinary collaboration reveals asymmetries between psychosocial and medical care. Collaborations are often dependent on individuals, structurally insecure and in need of improvement. DISCUSSION: Informed and self-determined decisions can be supported by improved interdisciplinary networking, accessible and reliable information services, and institutionalised language mediation. The reduction of structural inequalities and the normalisation of abortion are described as central issues, and the criminal law framework and compulsory counselling are reflected upon critically in some cases. Pregnancy counselling centres play a key role in this process.
