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: Ethiopia has achieved a remarkable improvement in the provision of family planning. The modern contraceptive prevalence rate has shown a fivefold increment in the last two decades, yet the family planning service in the country is still deficient and characterized by poor counseling quality. Objective: The aim of the study is to assess the quality of family planning counseling provided and the associated factors at selected health centers in Akaki Kality sub-city, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 678 randomly selected women attending family planning services at health centers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with the quality of family planning counseling. Result: A total of 678 women participated in the study. About 29.1% [95% confidence interval (CI): 25.7%-32.6%] of the respondents were adequately counseled. Age groups 37-49 [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.7; 95% CI: 1.1-6.6], being in marital union (AOR = 2.8; 95% CI: 1.2-6.7), attaining secondary education (AOR = 1.9; 95% CI: 1.1-3.6) or higher education (AOR = 2.2; 95% CI: 1.2-4.3), and visit status (AOR = 1.6; 95% CI: 1.1-2.4) were significantly associated with good counseling. Conclusion: Less than one in three women was counseled adequately. Health professionals should give due attention to younger women, single clients, and clients with their first presentation to the health facility. It also indicates that promoting education among Ethiopian women is crucial for a positive outcome of family planning counseling.
