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

Abstract: Good contraception care after pregnancy can remove barriers to accessing contraception and reduce future unintended pregnancy. While most methods can be started safely in the immediate post-pregnancy period, including long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) methods, there are some specific considerations that may influence their use post-pregnancy. This review summarises the current evidence and recommendations around post-pregnancy contraception following abortion, childbirth and early pregnancy loss (miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy and molar pregnancy), highlights practical considerations and identifies gaps for future research. Lay summary: Fertility can return very quickly following an abortion, childbirth or an early pregnancy loss. Without contraception, women can experience a pregnancy shortly after these episodes, which is often not what they intend. Having the opportunity to discuss future fertility plans and contraceptive options during these pregnancy episodes can empower women to start their chosen method of contraception early, reducing the need to attend appointments to do this later and the possibility of experiencing an unintended pregnancy.
