Personal experience with abortion influences how we practice as obstetrician-gynecologists.

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
purposeTo evaluate whether a personal history of having an abortion, or knowing someone close who did, has an impact on how a physician practices.
methodsA web-based survey was sent to Ob/Gyn residents asking about personal abortion experience, demographics, religious background, political views, residency program metrics, and intent to provide abortion. Pearson Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests were performed to assess whether or not personal history of abortion (PHA) was significantly associated with personal characteristics or training patterns.
resultsOb/Gyn residents with a personal history of abortion were older in age (p = 0.002), sought out additional training in family planning (p = 0.009), considered it extremely important that their program offers family planning training (p < 0.001), and were much more likely to intend to become an abortion provider themselves post-residency (p < 0.001).
conclusionPersonal experience is associated with training and practice patterns among Ob/Gyn residents, a finding that has implications for an Ob/Gyn workforce under pressure from increasing legislative restrictions to abortion care. Ob/Gyn residents should be supported in their training goals to combat moral injury associated with the inability to provide evidence-based care.
