Exploiting the Bayesian approach to derive counts of married women of reproductive age across Cameroon for healthcare planning, 2000-2030.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Estimates of married women of reproductive age (MWRA) are needed for policy decisions to enhance reproductive health. Given the unavailability in Cameroon, this study aimed to derive MWRA counts by regions and divisions from 2000 to 2030. Data included 1976, 1987, and 2005 censuses with 606,542 women, five Demographic and Health Surveys from 1991 to 2018 with 48,981 women, and United Nations World Population Prospects from 1976 to 2030. Bayesian models were used in estimating fertility rates, net-migration, and finally, MWRA counts. The total MWRA population in Cameroon was estimated to increase from 2,260,665 (2,198,569-2,352,934) to 6,124,480 (5,862,854-6,482,921), reflecting a 5.7 (5.2-6.2) percentage points (%p) annual rise from 2000-2030. The Centre and Far North regions host the largest numbers, projected to reach 1,264,514 (1,099,373-1,470,021) and 1,069,814 (985,315-1,185,523), respectively, in 2030. The highest divisional-level increases are expected in Mfoundi [14.6%p (11.2-18.8)] and Bénoué [14.9%p (11.1-20.09). This study's findings, showing varied regional- and divisional-level estimates of and trends in MWRA counts should set a baseline for determining the demand for programmes such as family planning, and the scaling of relevant resources sub-nationally.
