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: Ethiopia ranks twelfth globally and second in Africa by population size. High fertility rates, especially in rural areas, contribute to rapid population growth, impacting the country's economy. The decision of women to control the number of children they have is a crucial factor influencing population growth and contributing to elevated health risks for both women and children.Objective: the purpose of this study was to assess women desire to limit childbearing and its associated factor among rural women in Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional survey dataset of Ethiopian demographic and health survey 2016 was used for this study. A total of 12,019 rural women were included in the study. A multilevel binary logistic regression was used to identify the predictors of women's desire to limit childbearing. The adjusted odds ratio with respective 95 % confidence interval was used to declare statistically significant variables. Result: In rural Ethiopia, 33.04 % of women had a desired to limit their childbearing. Women in the age group of 25-34 years (AOR = 1.61, 95 % CI = 1.28,2.13), 35-49 years (AOR = 4.96, 95 % CI = 3.64, 6.65), had no children (AOR = 0.06, 95 % CI = 0.04, 0.09), having children 1-3 (AOR = 0.29, 95 % CI = 0.23, 0.36), married (AOR = 0.45, 95 % CI = 0.27, 0.75), living in small peripherals region (AOR = 0.33,95 % CI = 0.24, 0.45) and community level poverty (AOR = 0.72, 95 % CI = 0.57, 0.89) were significant predictors of women's desire to limit the number of children they bear. Conclusion: In rural Ethiopia, there is a limited inclination to control childbearing. Older women and those with higher number of children express a stronger desire to limit childbearing. Conversely, married women, from smaller peripheral regions and those residing in areas with a higher community poverty rate are less likely to have a desire to limit childbearing. Thus, promoting education on the advantages of smaller family sizes and offering family planning services could be crucial in fostering women's willingness to limit their childbearing.
