A Multilevel Analysis of Factors Associated with Teenage Pregnancy in Ethiopia.
Article in International journal of women's health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
backgroundA significant number of girls in Ethiopia begin childbearing at an early age. Teenage pregnancy is the main contributor to maternal and child morbidity and mortality, and the vicious cycle of ill-health and poverty. However limited evidence exists about individual- and community-level factors affecting teenage pregnancy in Ethiopia.
methodsThis study used data from the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS). A total of 3381 (weighted) teenagers aged 15-19 years were included in the study. A two-stage stratified cluster was used. Data were analyzed using Stata version 14. Multilevel mixed effect logistic regression was used to identify factors affecting teenage pregnancy.
resultsBeing 17 (AOR=9.26, 95% CI=2.67-32.04), 18 (AOR=9.53, 95% CI=2.97-30.04) and 19 years old (AOR=20.01, 95% CI=5.94-67.39), uneducated (AOR=3.83, 95% CI=1.05-14.00), primary educated (AOR=3.34, 95% CI=1.01-11.08), being married (AOR=70.12, 95% CI=27.55-178.4), and communities with a higher proportion of poor (AOR=3.86, 95% CI=1.80-8.26) were predictors of teenage pregnancy.
conclusionAge, educational status, and marital status from individual-level factors, and community wealth status from community-level factors were predictors of teenage pregnancy. The government should strive to improve female education, and fight against early marriage and sexual initiation.
