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
backgroundUnmet need for family planning among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) is a common cause of the low contraceptive utilization in developing countries, including Ethiopia. To address problems associated with unmet for family planning among adolescent girls and young women nationally available evidences are essential. However, there is limited evidence regarding factors associated with the unmet need for family planning among adolescent girls and young women in Ethiopia. Hence, this study aims to assess the prevalence and associated factors of unmet need for family planning among adolescent girls and young women in Ethiopia.
methodsOur analysis was based on secondary data using the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data. A total weighted sample of 1086 adolescent girls and young women was included in this study. A multi-level mixed-effect logistic regression analysis was fitted. Adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were used to show the strength and direction of the association. Statistical significance was declared at a p-value less than 0.05.
resultsThe prevalence of unmet need for family planning was 28.3% (95% CI: 25.7, 31.0). Adolescent girls and young women age 15-19 years (aOR: 2.4, 95%CI: 1.3, 4.3), household wealth quantile; poor (aOR: 5.6, 95%CI: 2.8, 11.1) and middle (aOR: 2.9, 95%CI: 1.4, 6.0), had no media exposure (aOR: 2.1, 95%CI: 1.1, 4.1), and adolescent girls and young women from developing regions (aOR: 5.1, 95%CI: 1.1, 14.5) were significantly associated with unmet need for family planning.
conclusionsUnmet need for family planning was high among adolescent girls and young women when compared to the national average and the United Nations sphere standard of unmet need for family planning. Age, wealth quantile, media exposure, and region were significantly associated with unmet need for family planning. Hence, there is the need to implement consistently effective family planning policies among AGYW living in developing regions of Ethiopia. Moreover, Public health policies and interventions that improve the existing strategies to improve media exposure of AGYW on family planning issues and increase the wealth status of households should be designed and implemented to reduce the unmet need for family planning in Ethiopia.
