Women's experiences of contraception, fertility and pregnancy after spinal cord injury: a Turkish perspective.
Article in Spinal cord, 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
STUDY
designA descriptive cross-sectional study.
objectivesTo investigate the experiences of Turkish women with spinal cord injury (SCI) in terms of contraception, fertility and pregnancy.
settingInpatient and outpatient clinics of a tertiary referral hospital in Türkiye.
methodsSeventy women (aged 18-55 years) with SCI were included. A comprehensive questionnaire containing questions about contraception, fertility, and obstetric experiences was administered.
resultsAmong participants using a method of contraception (45.7%), the most frequently used method was condom (used by partner) (43.8%). The most common reason for choosing the contraceptive method used was that they thought the method of contraception they were using was safe (37.5%). The most common reason reported for not using a method of contraception was no longer being sexually active (55.3%). 68.6% of participants had completed family planning by the time they were diagnosed with SCI. 72.9% of participants had never discussed fertility-related issues with their physician before. Fifteen births were identified in participants with SCI. Of these 15 births, only 1 (6.67%) was vaginal, while 14 (93.33%) were by cesarean section. Of the 14 births performed via cesarean section, regional anesthesia was used in 5 (35.71%) and general anesthesia in 9 (64.29%).
conclusionsThis study summarizes the experiences of Turkish women with SCI regarding contraception, fertility, and pregnancy. By drawing attention to these issues, the study may contribute to increased awareness among clinicians about the reproductive health of women with SCI.
