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

objectiveTo assess Vermont primary care provider (PCP) willingness to expand scope of practice to meet rising reproductive healthcare demands following the 2022 Dobbs decision and evaluate the decision's longitudinal implications for workforce development. STUDY SETTING AND

designWe conducted a cross-sectional, statewide survey of Vermont PCPs and medical trainees in December 2024. Participants were identified via databases maintained by the University of Vermont (UVM) Office of Primary Care and Area Health Education Center Program and the UVM Larner College of Medicine. DATA SOURCES AND ANALYTIC SAMPLE: Data were obtained via survey responses and categorized by professional role, training level, and specialty. Statistical associations were assessed using Chi-Square tests. PRINCIPAL

findingsOver three quarters of Vermont PCPs (77/103, 75%; 95% CI 67%-83%) are willing to expand their scope to ensure safe access to reproductive care. Provision of medication abortion, miscarriage management, and long-acting reversible contraceptives were identified as areas for scope expansion. Trainees and younger providers were less willing to practice in states with restrictive abortion policies (89/110, 81%; 95% CI 74%-88%) or limited family planning services (90/110, 82%; 95% CI 75%-89%).

conclusionsReproductive healthcare policy significantly influences provider career decisions with implications for workforce development in abortion-restricted states.
