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
introductionWhile family planning (FP) is important throughout an individual's and couple's reproductive life, postpartum family planning (PPFP) focuses on the prevention of unintended and closely spaced pregnancies through the first 12 months following childbirth. However, modern contraception utilization practice during the postpartum period is underemphasized in Ethiopia.
objectiveThis study aimed to assess postpartum modern contraceptive utilization and associated factors among postpartum women in Addis Zemen, South Gondar, Ethiopia in 2019.
methodsCommunity-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January 1 to February 30, 2019 on 402 women. Study subjects were selected by simple random sampling technique. The data were collected by a structured and pretested, face-to-face, interviewer-administered questionnaire, entered into EpiData 4.2 and analyzed by using SPSS 23 software. Bivariate and multivariable analyses were used to examine the association. Odds ratio, 95% confidence interval (CI) and P-value <0.05 were used to determine the statistical association.
resultsThe prevalence of postpartum family planning utilization was 54.7%. Maternal educational status (adjusted odd ratio (AOR)=2.99, 95% CI (1.72, 5.19)), menses return (AOR=4.76, 95% CI (3.03, 7.48)), less than four alive children (AOR=3.61, 95% CI (1.51, 4.51)), postnatal care follow-up (AOR=2.96, 95% CI (1.57, 5.57)), length of time after delivery (AOR=1.80, 95% CI (1.16, 2.79)) and knowledge (AOR=1.69, 95% CI (1.07, 2.66)) were significantly associated with postpartum modern contraceptive utilization.
conclusionThe postpartum modern contraceptive utilization was low. Therefore, health care providers should strengthen the integration of family planning services with maternal and child health service, provide health information about timely use of contraceptives and improve postnatal care follow-up after giving birth.
