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
backgroundPreconception care should be given in universal manner worldwide by manifesto of WHO. The government of Ethiopia gives the emphasis to maternal and child health but the progress of its improvement is too slow. Maternal health services especially before pregnancy is the unreached agenda in Ethiopia. Therefore, there is limited evidence on the intention to preconception care and its determinants in southwest Ethiopia. So, the aim of this study to determine the intention to use and its predictors of preconception care use among reproductive age women.
methodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in southwest Ethiopia. Systematically selected 427 reproductive age women were involved in this study. Face-to-face interview was used to collect the data by trained data collectors. The collected data was entered into EpiData version 3.1 and then exported to SPSS version 25 for further analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify predictors to intention to use preconception care. P-value less than 5% was considered to indicate significant association. The standardized β-coefficient was presented as measure of association following a multivariable linear regression analysis.
resultsThe response rate of the study was 98.13%. The mean age of respondents in the study was 34.21[±6.21] years. Nearly twenty (19.8%) respondents had used preconception care previously. The attitude (β =0.320, p=0.0418), subjective norm (β =0.344, p<0.001), perceived behavioral control (β=0.512, p<0.001), indirect subjective norm (β =-0.108, p=0.002) and age of respondents (β =0.046, p=0.020) were predictors of intention to use preconception care.
conclusionIntention to use preconception care is a multiplicative effect of attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and indirect subjective norm. Age is the only socio-demographic variables associated to intention.
