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
This article investigates the political practices related to abortion in Ecuador from their politicisation in 2006 until 2023, two years after the decriminalisation of abortion in all rape cases. We identify: (1) the discursive and embodied practices that construct and politicise the aborting body within feminist advocacy for legal, safe, and free abortion in Ecuador; (2) the effects of these practices; and (3) feminist challenges to conservative discourses that, in some cases, appropriate their rhetorical strategies. Based on participant observations of feminist demonstrations and the analysis of texts produced by Ecuadorian feminist organisations, we trace three "tactical strategies" (using Lugones' conceptualisation) that introduce different configurations of the body and propose different effects: (1) abortion as reparation, along with the notion of the victim body; (2) abortion as a right, along with the citizen body; and (3) abortion as dissidence, along with the configuration of the sovereign body. These tactical strategies need to be understood within the broader political context and evolving anti-choice forces. The coexistence of different strategies can lead to both complementary effects and friction.
