Modern contraceptive use and factors associated with use among postpartum women in Ethiopia; further analysis of the 2016 Ethiopia demographic and health survey data.

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
backgroundThe postpartum period is a critical time to improve maternal and child health. It is a time for accessing contraceptives to prevent short inter-pregnancy intervals. More than 95% of postpartum women do not want to get pregnant within 12 months. However, many women in Ethiopia experience an unintended pregnancy, and there is low information about postpartum contraceptive use among women who have family planning demand. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the prevalence of postpartum contraceptive use and its predictors among women who give birth 12 months before the survey in Ethiopia.
methodsWe used the 2016 Ethiopia demographic health survey data for this analysis. The survey was a community-based cross-sectional study conducted from January 18 to June 27, 2016. The survey employed a two-stage stratified cluster sampling technique. A total of 2304 postpartum women were included. Bivariate and multivariable logistics regressions were done to identify factors associated with postpartum contraceptive use. A p-value < 0.05 was used to declare statistical significance.
resultsAbout 23.7% (23.7, 95% CI: 20.7-27.0%) of postpartum women were using modern contraceptives. Women who were urban residents (AOR = 2.18; 95%CI: 1.34-3.55), those who attended secondary or higher education (AOR = 1.79; 95%CI: 1.04-3.10), women who attended 1-3 (AOR = 2.33; 95%CI:1.27-4.25) or 4 or more ANC visits (AOR = 2.59; 95%CI:1.43-4.69) and women who delivered at a health facility (AOR = 1.86; 95%CI: 1.23-2.81) had higher odds of modern contraceptive use during the postpartum period. Similarly, women who reported the last child was no more wanted (AOR = 1.83; 95%CI: 1.01-3.31), women who decided for contraceptive use (AOR = 2.03; 95%CI: 1.13-3.65) and women whose recent child was male (AOR = 1.38; 95%CI: 1.01-1.88) had higher odds of modern contraceptive use.
conclusionPostpartum contraceptive use was low in Ethiopia. Strengthening health facility delivery, promoting girls' education and encouraging women's participation in deciding for contraceptive use would improve the uptake of modern contraceptives use during the postpartum period.
