The latent determinants of higher order parity births (HOB) in Cheyyar & Tenkasi districts of Tamil Nadu - a qualitative exploration.
Article in Contraception and reproductive medicine, 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
backgroundIndia is currently experiencing population momentum, and studying the determinants of having more children needs to be explored in depth so that the Government’s Family Welfare strategies can be revisited according to the current real needs. RATIONALE: Despite efforts to reduce higher-order births, they continue to occur in some districts of Tamil Nadu. It’s essential to understand the factors that influence families to have more children in a state that has achieved the replacement level of fertility.
objectivesTo explore the attitudes of mothers has more than or equal to 3 children in a low HOB district, to explore the attitudes of mothers who have less than or equal to 2 children in a high HOB district, to explore the attitudes of Husbands and Mothers in-laws about having less than or equal to 2 children and more children.
methodsIn-depth interviews were conducted among low-order- higher-order birth mothers and Husbands from the low- and high-HOB districts of Tamil Nadu. A grounded theory approach was adopted to generate the themes.
resultsSeven themes emerged from the In-depth interviews, namely, Providence, Proclivity, Social norms, Transgression, Social connectedness, Forlorn events, and lacking knowledge on contraception leading to higher-order births.
conclusionFiscal Prospects, Congenital defects, providing security to girl children, providing quality education, fulfilling social customs, and poor knowledge of available contraception were evident factors determining the higher order births.
