Time to initiation of modern contraceptive method use after childbirth and its predictors in Southern Ethiopia: a retrospective follow-up study.

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
backgroundTimely initiation of modern contraceptive use is vital to prevent unintended pregnancy and its related morbidities and mortalities. However, there is a scarcity of evidence about the duration of time elapsing from childbirth to initiating modern contraceptive use following childbirth and its associated factors in the study area for evidence-based interventions. Therefore, we aimed to assess the time to initiation of modern contraceptive method use and its predictors in Hossana town, southern Ethiopia.
methodsA retrospective follow-up study was conducted at public health facilities in Hosanna town. A total of 503 study participants were included in the study using a systematic random sampling technique. The Box and Whisker plot was used to estimate the time to initiation of modern contraceptive use. A Weibull regression model was applied to identify predictors of time to initiation of modern contraceptive use. Adjusted Hazard Ratio (AHR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to interpret the strength of the association.
resultsThe median time to initiation of modern contraceptive use was 6 months, with an interquartile range of 3 months. Husband/partner attending higher education [AHR = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.04, 2.57], women who had parity of more than two [AHR = 1.93, 95% CI: 1.01, 3.67], and women who had communicated with their husband/partner about modern contraceptive methods [AHR = 3.03, 95% CI: 1.41, 6.67] were more likely to initiate modern contraceptive method use within six months after childbirth. In contrast, women with an older age of greater than or equal to 30 years [AHR = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.13, 0.82] and who did not resume sexual intercourse after childbirth [AHR = 0.02, 95% CI: 0.01, 0.03] were less likely to initiate modern contraceptive method use within six months after childbirth.
conclusionsThe median time to initiation of modern contraceptive method use after childbirth in the postpartum period was delayed from the World Health Organization recommendation of at most 6 weeks. Emphasis should be given to older women, women with lower parity, and men's participation in contraceptive communication to improve timing for initiation of modern contraceptive use after childbirth and to curb the five-month lag periods.
