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
purposeThe United States Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization overruled federal protections for abortion in 2022. Young adult Black women (YABW) are expected to be among those most impacted directly by abortion restrictions and indirectly by effects on broader sexual and reproductive health access. This study assessed the extent to which this population anticipates negative impacts of the ruling.
methodsA nationwide convenience sample of 500 YABW 18-22 years participated in an online sexual and reproductive health survey in November-December 2023. Participants rated the extent to which they anticipated negative impacts of Dobbs on five domains: their sex life and decisions related to prescription contraception, emergency contraception, sexually transmitted infection testing, and abortion. We used multivariable analyses including ordinal logistic regression to examine participant characteristics associated with anticipated negative impacts.
resultsHalf of participants (51%-59%) anticipated at least some negative impact of the Dobbs ruling across the five domains, and 19% reported high levels of anticipated negative impact. Greater odds of a high anticipated impact score were associated with awareness of the Supreme Court decision prior to participation (aOR = 2.00, 95% CI [1.09-3.83]) and medical mistrust (aOR = 1.71, 95% CI [1.22-2.40]). DISCUSSION: These findings can inform the development of targeted support for YABW in the post-Dobbs landscape, which may include education on reproductive care options that remain legally available and culturally responsive care that fosters patient trust in the health care system within the current policy environment.
