Effects of continuum of care for maternal health service utilisation on intention to use family planning among pastoralist women of Ethiopia: a robust regression analysis and propensity score matching modelling.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03450564 (The Effect of Community-Based Interventions on Increasing Family Planning Utilization in Pastoralist Community of Afar Region Ethiopia), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
objectivesThis study examines the effect of continuum care for maternal health service utilisation on intention to use family planning among the pastoralist community in Ethiopia.
designA community-based cross-sectional study.
settingData were collected from three districts of the pastoralist community of the Afar region.
participantsRandomly selected 891 married pastoralist women. PRIMARY OUTCOME: Intention to use family planning.
resultsIntention to use family planning would increase (β=0.122, 95% CI: 0.036, 0.287) or by 12.2%, if all married pastoralist women received continuum of care for maternal health service utilisation compared with their counterparts. Results from the robust regression analysis indicate that intention to use family planning was higher among women who had a discussion about family planning with their husband (β=0.31, SE=0.035, p<0.001), women who possessed an electronic devices (β=0.096, SE=0.029, p<0.001) and women who had an unmet need for family planning (β=0.056, SE=0.026, p<0.000). However, intention to use family planning was lower for women who were in a polygamous marriage (β=-0.168, SE=0.065, p<0.01). There was a significant linear increase in the score of intention to use family planning for attitude towards family planning (β=0.009, SE=0.001, p<0.000), subjective norm (β=0.003, SE=0.001, p<0.003) and perceived control over family planning (β=0.002, SE=0.008, p<0.024) given other explanatory variables in the model.
conclusionContinuum of care for maternal health service utilisation increases pastoralist women's intention to use family planning. Maximising any opportunity to counsel women who come to health facilities about family planning would be vital to increase their intention to use family planning. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03450564.
