1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: It's estimated that about 121 million unintended pregnancies occur worldwide every year, which has significant impacts on individuals, families, and society. It's important to explore the factors influencing the childbirth decision in these women, thereby informing midwifery practice. Methods: A qualitative study was performed on women with unintended pregnancies via focus group discussion. The thematic analysis was guided by the theory of planned behavior. Data were analyzed using a combination of deductive and inductive content analysis. Results: The analysis revealed three main themes and several subthemes: attitudes toward behavior (changes in fertility concepts, impact of fertility policies, conflicts in women's roles), subjective norms (influence from friends, family, societal attitudes towards fertility), and perceived behavioral control (health-related pregnancy factors, pressures of child-rearing responsibilities, concerns about family, workplace support). Discussion: Women are eager to make informed decisions regarding unintended pregnancies. A collaborative effort from society, healthcare providers, and families is essential to support these women in making appropriate decisions. Healthcare providers hold a pivotal role in caring for pregnant women. Additional studies are required to assess and integrate strategies within healthcare practice. Trial Registration: The study received the approval from the Ethics Committee at Dongguan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital (No. 2024-14) on 12 April 2024.
