Translation Validation, Software Adaptation, and Usability Testing of a Spanish Contraception Decision Tool: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Pilot Study.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 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
Background: Contraceptive care is complex, especially for individuals with health conditions (eg, diabetes, depression, and cardiovascular disease) who must consider how and to what extent their condition may be affected by contraception or vice versa. My Health, My Choice (MHMC) is a novel, web-based contraceptive decision support tool designed in English for patients with health conditions and is currently being tested in a cluster randomized controlled trial in the United States. MHMC is not available in Spanish, creating linguistic barriers to trial participation for those who prefer to read and learn in Spanish. Objective: This protocol describes a 3-stage process to create a medically accurate, linguistically and culturally acceptable Spanish version of MHMC called Methods: The pilot study combines an iterative, convergent mixed methods design with an innovative translation process and user experience methodology. In stage 1 (translation validation), a bilingual 8-person translation team will conduct the Team-Driven, Person-Centered Translation Process, a 7-step innovative process developed for this study: (1) resource and team preparation; (2) forward translations; (3) synthesis of translations; (4) back translation; (5) consensus (harmonizing) of translations; (6) review and proofreading; and (7) pretest or pilot of the translated adaptation. In stage 2 (software adaptation), we will work with a professional software team to internationalize MHMC (prepare it to technically support multiple languages) and then localize MHMC (prepare it for a specific language or region) for use in Spanish. In stage 3, we will conduct usability testing with a nonprobability sample of 12 to 20 Spanish-speaking individuals (aged 18-49, who can get pregnant and want contraceptive decision support) who vary in reading levels and Spanish dialects. Quantitative usability data will be collected via electronic survey with an adapted version of the Spanish System Usability Scale (SUS). Qualitative data will be collected via "think aloud" cognitive interviews during which participants navigate the tool in real-time. We will conduct iterative cycles of rapid qualitative analysis and software revisions to identify and resolve user-interface problems and improve the Spanish text for medical accuracy, linguistic acceptability, and cultural acceptability. Usability testing will stop when data no longer yield substantive feedback. Results: As of September 7, 2026, we have enrolled 5 participants to date and anticipate completion of the pilot by November 1, 2026. We anticipate completion of qualitative analysis by December 2026 and publication of results in 2027. The final product, Conclusions: This protocol describes translation validation, software adaptation, and usability testing of a novel web-based contraceptive decision tool in Spanish.
