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

backgroundBecause of unemployment and inadequate education and health services, high rate of maternal and infant mortalities, a rapidly growing population is a serious problem in Turkey. Social values and attitudes of women might be effective in using modern family planning methods. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the factors concerning the attitudes of married women toward family planning. MATERIALS AND

methodsFour hundred and twenty-seven women were randomly selected among 29,874 women and included in this cross-sectional study. The study was conducted between June 2008 and September 2008, and included married women between 15 and 49 years of age, living in the provincial centre of Aydin, a city in western Turkey. The study data were obtained using a questionnaire and the Family Planning Attitude Scale.

resultsOf the women participating in the study, 60.4% used modern methods and 26.0% used conventional methods. These variables included, in a descending order of contribution to the model's power, having a college degree, being a primary school graduate, the longest period of rural life, use of conventional methods, discussing with one's spouse issues about family planning, and age and high perception of income level.

conclusionsReorganization of family planning services by giving priority to women living in rural areas with low income and education level and conventional contraception method use could contribute to positive attitudes toward family planning. Including their spouses to this reorganization may enhance the impact.
