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

In March 2024 there was a significant change to abortion legislation in Western Australia, which until this time had operated under some of the most restrictive laws in Australia. These legislative modifications have provided abortion access consistent with contemporary women's reproductive rights. We present a snap-shot of the impact of this abortion legislative change in the state's largest obstetric and gynaecology hospital, reviewing access to abortion care over a 12 month period straddling this change. The most significant has been the increased access to post-20 week gestation abortion care and the expansion of a specific abortion care service.
