1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThis study aimed to determine the spatial distribution, prevalence, and determinant factors of unintended pregnancy among youth in Ethiopia.

methodsUsing the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey 2016, a total of 2446 pregnant women aged 15-24 in the last 5 years, including current pregnancy, were included in the study. The unintended pregnancy data were spatially visualized using coordinates for each respondent in the survey using ArcGIS 10.3. The Bernoulli model was used to identify the presence of purely spatial unintended pregnancy cluster using SaTScan software. Logistic regression analysis was fitted to determine factors associated with unintended pregnancy among youth.

resultsUnintended pregnancy among youth had spatial variation across the country. Among youth, 20.5% (confidence interval: (19.0, 22.2)) of pregnancies were estimated to be unintended. Spatial scan statistics identified 72 primary clusters (log-likelihood ratio of 37.6, at

conclusionThe distribution of unintended pregnancy among youth in Ethiopia was nonrandom. Unintended pregnancy prevention strategies among youth need to be targeted on the identified factors. Hence, we recommend creating awareness on sexual and reproductive health rights with special priority to the identified hotspot areas (Amhara, Addis Ababa, Gambella, Northern part of Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region, and northwest of Oromia region) to reduce unintended pregnancy.
