Contraception Use among Women Visiting Outpatient Department of Gynaecology in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Family planning services can bring a wide range of benefits to women, their families and society as a whole. Many women of reproductive age have little or incorrect information about family planning methods. Even when they know some methods of contraceptives, they don't know the availability or how to use them properly. The aim of this study is to find out the prevalence of contraception use among women visiting the outpatient department of gynaecology of a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among women visiting the gynaecological outpatient department from 10 April 2021 to 10 April 2022 after taking ethical approval from the Institutional review committee (Reference number: 2079/80-03). Women aged 18 to 49 years visiting during the study period were included and pregnant, postmenopausal and unmarried women were excluded from the study. Data was collected from one-to-one interviews. A convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 95% confidence interval were calculated. Results: Out of 208 patients, 146 (70.19%) (63.97-76.41, 95% Confidence Interval) women were currently using contraceptives. Short-acting reversible contraception was used by 97 (66.44%) and long-acting reversible contraception was used by 23 (15.75%). A total of 21 (14.38%) women used permanent sterilisation. The most commonly used contraceptive device was Depo Provera, 43 (29.45%) followed by condoms, 29 (19.86%). Conclusions: The prevalence of contraception use is lower than the other studies done in similar settings. Therefore, contraception promotion programs have to be encouraged to promote the efficient use of contraception. Keywords: contraception; family planning; prevalence; women.
