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

Introduction: Factors underlying reproductive decisions, including contraceptive method choice, are poorly understood, especially in humanitarian settings where sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs may be highest due to heightened risk of sexual violence and disruptions of health services. The study examined the association between method-specific beliefs and future method choice among women in refugee settlements in Uganda. Methods: Data were from a baseline of a one-year prospective study involving a cohort of 2,498 women aged 15-45 years living in Kiryadongo and Kyangwali refugee settlements. Analysis used cross-tabulation with chi-square test and conditional logistic regression analysis to examine associations between method-specific beliefs and intention to use injectables, implants, or pills among contraceptive non-users. Result: Among contraceptive non-users ( Conclusion: Intention to use contraception in future among non-users in refugee settlements is low, coupled with widespread negative beliefs about available methods. There is need to improve counseling to counter negative beliefs and to expand access to a range of modern contraceptive methods.
