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
backgroundSpousal family planning communication plays an important role in making better reproductive health decisions and in increasing the use of modern contraceptive methods. The objective of the current study is to examine the association of spousal family planning communication in its broader context with current modern contraceptive use among couples.
methodsA community based cross-sectional survey was conducted in twelve kebeles of Harar Urban Health and Demographic Surveillance System. A total of 2700 currently married couples of whose wives were in the reproductive age participated in the study. The selection of the study participants was made using simple random sampling and data were collected using an interviewer administered structured questionnaire and analyzed using Stata version 12.
resultsThe level of current modern contraceptive use was 57.1% (95% CI: 0.53, 3.39). Effective spousal family planning communication was significantly associated with current modern contraceptive use even after controlling for socio-economic and demographic variables. Socio-economic and demographic variables such as religion of couples, number of couples' living children, household monthly income, couples' family planning approval and women's counseling about family planning by health workers were significantly associated with current modern contraceptive use.
conclusionPolicies and programs aimed at increasing contraceptive prevalence should properly address the importance of spousal communication about family planning and integrate men into family planning programs to facilitate and enhance couples communication skills.
