Prevalence and Determinants of Contraceptive Utilization among Women in the Reproductive Age Group in Ethiopia.

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
introductionDespite the huge advantages of family planning programs, contraception use in Ethiopia remains low. Determining the magnitude and associated factors of contraceptive utilization helps to take action for further improvement. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and identify determinants of using contraceptives among women of reproductive age in Ethiopia.
methodsThe 2019 Ethiopian Mini Demographic and Health Survey 2019 (EMDHS 2019) dataset was utilized in this population-based investigation. In the current study, 8885 reproductive-age women were included. Binary logistic regression analysis was employed to examine significant factors associated with the utilization of contraceptive methods. The analysis was done using SPSS software version 20.
resultsThe prevalence of contraceptive utilization amongst women's reproductive age in Ethiopia was 37.6%. Of all contraceptive users, a large number of women, 57.0%, used injectable kinds of contraceptives followed by implants (24.3%). Participants aged 20-29 (AOR = 2.32, 95%CI: 1.79-3.01) and aged 30-39 years (AOR = 3.12, 95%CI: 2.58-3.78); from Addis Ababa (AOR = 3.27, 95%CI:2.42-4.43), Dire Dawa (AOR = 2.96, 95%CI:2.28-3.84), and urban residence (AOR = 2.49, 95%CI:2.13-2.91); who had secondary education level 1.391(AOR = 1.14-1.70), diploma and above (AOR = 1.39, 95%CI:1.12-1.72); being in rich wealth index (AOR = 1.260, 95%CI:1.06-1.50); having five or more children (AOR = 1.37, 95%CI:1.17-1.61); and who had knowledge about contraceptives (AOR = 1.88, 95%CI:1.42-2.48) and being married (AOR = 5.82, 95%CI: 4.60-7.36) had higher odds of utilizing contraceptives, while women aged 40-49 years (AOR = 0.93, 95%CI: 0.89-0.96) and from residential region of Oromia (AOR = 0.516, 95%CI: 0.40-0.67), Somalia (AOR = 0.48, 95%CI: 0.38-0.62) and Benishangul (AOR = 0.53, 95%CI: 0.40-0.70) had lower odds of using contraception.
conclusionsThe study concluded that the use of contraceptives remained very low (found below the national target) in Ethiopia. Factors like age, educational level, number of children, and region of the women, religion, wealth index, and marital status are determinant factors associated with contraceptive use among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia. For a more successful intervention approach that encourages the use of contraceptive methods, these variables should be considered.
