Laparoscopic Salpingectomy Cancellations: Patient-Reported Reasons and Areas for Improvement.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Background and objective Although permanent surgical contraception via laparoscopic salpingectomy is commonly performed and associated with a substantial cancellation rate, the reasons for cancellation are poorly characterized. This study sought to examine patient-reported reasons for sterilization cancellation. Materials and methods Patients aged 18 to 50 who cancelled their laparoscopic salpingectomy at our academic county hospital and who were English- or Spanish-speaking were contacted for a qualitative interview. Inductive coding was used. Results Fifteen phone interviews were conducted between January 2023 and February 2024. Nine of the 15 participants (60%) were confident in their desire for permanent contraception, and eight of 15 (53.3%) continued to desire laparoscopic salpingectomy. The most common factor contributing to surgery cancellation among participants who desired permanent contraception was financial concerns, with insurance issues cited most frequently. Conclusions Some patients change their minds about undergoing salpingectomy. Financial concerns remain a barrier to receiving laparoscopic salpingectomy for permanent contraception, even with full insurance coverage or deeply discounted services.
