Focused Family Planning Counseling Increases Immediate Postpartum Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Uptake: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

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
purposeThe aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of focused family planning counseling (FFPC) in increasing postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) uptake among mothers who gave birth in the public health facilities of the towns of Adama and Olenchiti from April 1 to May 30, 2017.
methodsA quasi-experimental study design was employed, taking a sample of 726 postpartum mothers: 484 in the non-intervention group (NIG) and 242 in the intervention group (IG). Focused family planning counseling was given to the IG using a newly designed cue card adapted from World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines and developed based on the constructs of the health belief model. Counseling based on a routine counseling approach was given to the NIG. The interviewer administered a semi-structured questionnaire for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS software, version 20. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the study participants. The difference in the proportion of PPIUCD uptake in the two groups was tested using an independent Z-test at an alpha level of 0.05. Binary logistics regression was used to identify factors associated with the odds of taking IUCD. The significance of association was declared for P-values less than 0.05.
resultsThe proportion of PPIUCD uptake in the IG [12.4%; 95% CI: 8.6, 17.4] was significantly higher than in the NIG [4.8%; 95% CI: 2.9, 6.7] with a P-value = 0.000. The odds of IUCD uptake among the IG was about 6 times higher (AOR: 5.92; 95% CI: 2.79, 12.60) than in the NIG. In addition, being unmarried women (AOR: 12.96; 95% CI: 4.30, 34.56), having higher education (AOR: 3.07; 95% CI: 1.13, 8.36), grand multiparity (AOR: 3.76; 95% CI: 1.58, 8.95), making a mutual decision (AOR: 0.16, 95% CI: 0.07, 0.38) and having a better knowledge of family planning (AOR: 5.92, 95% CI: 2.79, 12.60) were factors associated with uptake.
conclusionProviding FFPC immediately increases PPIUCD uptake. The uptake was also associated with marital status, education, parity, decision and knowledge on family planning.
