Socioeconomic and demographic differentials in unintended pregnancies, abortion, and contraceptive use in Spain: insights from the 2018 Fertility Survey.
Article in Reproductive health, 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
backgroundThere is growing interest in the social stratification of demographic trends, including those related to reproductive outcomes. One issue that has received little attention in recent years in the case of Spain is the relationship between individuals’ social position and unintended pregnancies, abortion, and contraceptive use.
methodWe present descriptive statistics and estimate predicted probabilities from logistic regression models using a nationally representative sample of 14,556 women from the 2018 Spanish Fertility Survey.
resultsResults show that unintended pregnancies are more common among socially vulnerable women—those with a lower level of education, migrant background (not born in Spain), unstable partnership histories, or experience of employment instability. Abortions are also more prevalent within these groups. In contrast, women with higher socioeconomic status are more likely to avoid unintended pregnancies through more consistent contraceptive use.
conclusionThese findings highlight persistent social inequalities in reproductive health outcomes in Spain, suggesting the need for policy interventions that include educational programs on family planning and expand accessibility to reproductive health services particularly for the most vulnerable populations.
