Facilitating Abortion Services in Primary Care Settings After the Loss of Federal Protections.
Article in Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine : JABFM, 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
introductionAbortion care access became more restricted following the 2022 US Supreme Court decision, Dobbs vs Jackson Women's Health, that eliminated federal protection. We sought to engage healthcare clinicians in states in the Northwestern U.S. with varied abortion regulations to develop strategies for primary care involvement in access to and follow up for abortion care.
methodsThe "Won't Go Back" initiative began in July 2022, recruiting members from the five state WWAMI (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho) region Practice Based Research Network (WPRN), Family Medicine Residency Network (FMRN) and Washington state family planning clinics. We completed a cross-sectional needs assessment survey (winter 2022) and virtual convenings (summer 2023). We used descriptive statistics to describe participant demographics, reproductive health services offered, documented needs, and proposed solutions including abortion care education and referral networks.
results193 surveys were sent to individual clinicians with 40 responses (21% response rate) from Washington, Idaho, Montana and Alaska. All participants' provided reproductive health services, and 25% offered abortion care. All clinicians wished to support their patients seeking abortion care. Barriers faced by convening attendees included obtaining mifepristone, federal funding restrictions and navigating anti-abortion views. Proposed solutions from survey and convening representatives included creation of a learning collaborative and regional networks of primary care abortion clinicians.
conclusionSurvey and convening representatives were interested in enhancing abortion access for their patients. Clinicians faced barriers due to federal and state legal restrictions. Creation of an abortion learning collaborative and referral networks addressing identified barriers can potentially support patients.
