A systematic review and meta-analysis of immediate postpartal intrauterine contraceptive device use in Ethiopia.
Review in Heliyon, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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: Immediate postpartum intrauterine device (IPPIUCD) use remains too low in Ethiopia and there are high levels of unmet need for IPPIUCD. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates individual studies conducted in Ethiopia on IPPIUCD use and influencing factors. Method: Extensive database searching was done using Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopes, Cochrane library, Web of Science, and Science Direct search engines. Data were extracted and analyzed using Cochrane review manager version 5.4.1. A random-effects model with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to estimate the pooled magnitude of IPPIUCD use. Forest plot was used to estimate the pooled IPPIUCD use and inverse variance was used to identify the presence of heterogeneity. Publication bias was assessed by using funnel plots and Egger's statistical tests. Result: This study showed that the pooled use of IPPIUCD in Ethiopia was 8.37% (95% CI: 4.32, 16.21). Those who had heard about IPPIUCD were 4.2 times (OR = 4.2, 95% CI: 1.51, 11.68) more likely, had birth interval >3 years were 3.90 times (OR = 3.90, 95% CI: 1.68, 9.05) more likely, had good knowledge were 4.44 times (OR = 4.44, 95% CI: 2.26, 8.76) more likely and counseled clients were 3.99 times (OR = 3.99, 95% CI: 1.28, 12.37) more likely to use IPPIUCD; and the odds of using IPPIUCD was 45% (OR = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.40, 0.77) less likely among aged 15-24 years old to use IPPIUCD. Conclusion: IPPIUCD use in Ethiopia was low. Age category, ever heard about IPPIUCD, level of knowledge, birth interval and being counseled about IPPIUCD were statistically significant factors influencing IPPIUCD use.
