A Tale as Old as Time: Contraception Concerns in the 21st Century.
Article in Open access journal of contraception, 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
Historical inconsistencies in contraception research have led to concerns about side effects regarding hormonal contraception. Today, concerns about the hormonal contraceptive pill are still ongoing. The side effects from hormonal contraception and prevailing socioeconomic barriers to effective contraception have heralded in the use of Mobile Health (mHealth) applications as birth control methods. These applications are set to become ubiquitous with the proliferation of wearable devices that monitor biodata. Access to modern contraceptives depends on who you are and where you live and often has cost-implications. The use of "mHealth" applications has been rising in recent years and are marketed as having maximal reward for minimal cost and perhaps could alleviate some of these concerns. While mHealth applications are flexible, accessible, and low cost, this paper suggests that we exercise caution so as not to repeat past mistakes. We provide a critical review of the history of research into contraception. We may have come far, but we still have a long way to go for equitable access to contraceptive healthcare.
