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
backgroundFamily planning is one of the four pillars of safe motherhood initiative to reduce maternal death in developing countries. Despite progress in contraceptive use, unmet needs are wide open and fertility remains high. Ethiopia have a higher fertility rate which contributes to maternal and child health destitution, putting pressure on the already weak health system. This study examined individual and community-level factors associated with contraceptive use in Ethiopia.
methodsData from Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey 2016 were used to identify individual and community level associated factors among reproductive-age women. Non-pregnant, fecund and sexually active women aged 15-49 were included. Six hundred forty-two communities and 6854 women were involved from this two-stage cluster sampled data. The analysis was done using two-level mixed-effects logistic regression to determine fixed effects of individual and community-level factors and random intercept of between characteristics.
resultsFrom the total eligible women for contraceptive use 2393 (34.9%) of them were users. Injectables were the commonest of all contraceptive methods. Various individual-level variables were associated with contraceptive use. Household wealth index, women's age, number of living children, husband's occupation, ever experience of a terminated pregnancy, current working status of the women, number of births in the last 3 years, and hearing of FP messages through different media were significantly associated individual-level variables after adjusting other factors. Community characteristics like region, place of residence, religion, and community-level wealth were the factors associated with contraceptive use.
conclusionBoth individual and community-level characteristics were significant predictors of use of contraceptives in Ethiopian women. Besides the individual-level factors, interventions should also consider community-level associates.
