Discontinuation Rate of Intrauterine Device and Associated Factors Among Women in the Last One Year in Angacha District, Southern Ethiopia.
Article in Open access journal of contraception, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Discontinuation of intrauterine contraceptive device is the phenomenon of starting a contraceptive method and then ending it within one year of its use. Discontinuation of an intrauterine contraceptive method often leads to unintended pregnancy; this tips to potentially unsafe abortions and unintended births. Even though Ethiopian government gives an attention to long acting reversible contraceptives, especially IUCD, there are no recent studies conducted in the study area. Thus, this study aimed to assess the discontinuation rate of IUCD and associated factors among women in the last one year in Angacha District, southern Ethiopia. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from June 22 to July 22, 2020. Multistage sampling was used to select a total of 596 women who used IUCD during the last year in the Angacha district. Data were collected using pre-tested structured questionnaires. The collected data were entered into Epidata version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 23 for analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out to identify factors independently associated with discontinuation IUCD. The significance level was set at a p-value of <0.05 and AOR with 95% CI was used to interpret the association. Results: In this study, 116(19.5%) women discontinued the use of IUCD in the last year with a 95% CI of 16.3%-22.5%. Counseling before IUCD insertion [AOR (95% CI) = 2.5(1.03, 6.03)], marital status [AOR (95% CI) = 0.23(0.08, 0.69)], access to IUCD service [AOR (95% CI) = 0.29(0.12, 0.72)], and parity [AOR (95% CI) = 3.69(1.97, 8.84)] were significant with discontinuation of IUCD. Conclusion: The overall magnitude of IUCD discontinuation in the study area was found to be high. Counseling before IUCD insertion and parity were positively associated while marital status of mothers and access to IUCD services were negatively associated with the discontinuation of IUCD.
