Postpartum contraception plans among a cohort of pregnant incarcerated individuals.
Article in Contraception, 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
objectiveOur objective was to describe patterns of postpartum contraception plan documentation and fulfillment among patients receiving prenatal care in a state prison system. STUDY
designThis is a retrospective chart review of patients over age 21 who accessed prenatal care in a state prison clinic between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2021. We described demographic characteristics, contraception plans documented during prenatal care, and fulfillment of contraception method by hospital discharge for patients who delivered while incarcerated. For patients who had prenatal care for two or more trimesters, we also assessed the consistency of documented contraception plans.
resultsOf the total 890 patients, only 44.2% of all patients had documentation of a postpartum contraception plan while incarcerated. Overall, long-acting reversible contraception (9.1%) and permanent contraception (8.9%) were the most commonly documented plans. Of the 74 patients with a contraceptive plan documented in two or three trimesters, 64.9% consistently had one plan documented at all visits. Over half, 472 (53.0%), delivered while incarcerated and the most common type of contraception method provided at delivery was depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (13.1%) despite only 2.8% of patients having documentation of this method as their contraception plan during prenatal care visits while incarcerated.
conclusionsLess than half of the patients in the study sample had documentation of their desired goal for postpartum contraception. Patterns of documentation and fulfillment were likely a byproduct of a combination of individual preferences, anticipated length of incarceration, clinician practice patterns, and facility policies. IMPLICATIONS: There may be misalignment between patient preferences for postpartum contraception method and what is discussed, documented, or provided during incarceration.
