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
Background: Youth faces various sexual and reproductive health problems in developing countries like Ethiopia. Major health problems like unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, and sexually transmitted infections are common among youth in Ethiopia. This study aimed to determine the level of utilization of youth-friendly reproductive health services and associated factors among youth in Aleta Wondo town, southern Ethiopia, from 20 to 30 June 2020. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among youths of Aleta Wondo town from 20 to 30 June 2020. A total of 421 study participants were selected from households of selected kebeles in the town by using a systematic random sampling method. Data were collected using structured pretested face-to-face interviewer-administered questionnaires. The data were entered using Epi-data version 4.4.2 and exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine factors significantly associated with the utilization of youth-friendly reproductive health services. Adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval with p value of <0.05 were considered to declare statistical significance. Results: The level of utilization of youth-friendly reproductive health services was 32.8% (95% confidence interval = 28.0%-37.0%). Youth-friendly service utilization was significantly associated with being female gender (adjusted odds ratio = 2.20, 95% confidence interval = 1.34-3.62), living alone (adjusted odds ratio = 2.99, 95% confidence interval = 1.48-5.77), who had not ever discussed with their parents (adjusted odds ratio = 0.46, 95% confidence interval = 0.27-0.81), have visited service required and missed service (adjusted odds ratio = 1.96, 95% confidence interval = 1.19-3.24), and have sexual partner (adjusted odds ratio = 4.52, 95% confidence interval = 2.75-7.44). Conclusion: Youth-friendly reproductive health service utilization among youth Aleta Wondo town was low. Factors like gender, current living place, have ever discussed in reproductive health issues with their parents, have visited health facility and missed service, and having sexual partner were predictors of youth-friendly service utilization. It is better to work in collaboration with youth clubs and schoolteachers to scale up youth-friendly service.
