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
backgroundEmergency contraception is used after intercourse and before potential implantation, offering women a last chance to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse.
objectiveThis study aimed to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding emergency contraception among female students at Dangila Hidase high school in northwest Ethiopia.
methodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among female students at Dangila Hidase high school from from May 1 to 30, 2019. Systematic random sampling was used to select study participants. There were 1,219 students in Dangila Hidase high school. Of these, 625 of them were female students. There were 346 female students in grade 9 and 279 students from grade 10. Samples were allocated proportionally to each grade. A pretested self-administered structured questionnaire was used. Data were entered into Epi Info 3.5 and exported to SPSS 24 for analysis.
resultsA total of 262 female students aged 16-19 years were approached, and the response rate was 100%. Among respondents who had heard about emergency contraceptive, pills were the most commonly known method 98, 51.4%) followed by intrauterine contraceptive devices 42, 22.1%). A total of 75 (58.6%) participants had knowledge of the recommended number of pills to be taken. Of the 190 (72.5%) respondents who knew about emergency contraception, 147, 77.4%) had favorable attitudes toward its use. Of those who had had sexual intercourse 70, 26.7%), only 20 (28.6%) had used emergency contraception.
conclusionEven though there is information available about emergency contraception, there is a gap with regard to the correct time of use. The positive attitudes of the respondents could be an indication of a fertile environment for possible interventions and reduction in maternal morbidity and mortality resulting from unwanted pregnancies and related complications.
