1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimAssessing the socio-demographic factors on termination of pregnancy in Ghana.

designCross-sectional study, using data source from the Demographic Health Survey (DHS).

methodsData pooled from the most recent DHS conducted in Ghana, with variables of interest with rural and urban population coverage. A systematic search of the literature was performed using PubMed, Google Scholar and Elsevier PubMed for the secondary data. Descriptive and logistic regression analysis was performed using Python Pandas' software to estimate the independent effects of the socio-demographic factors on termination of pregnancy in Ghana.

resultsReported using odds and adjusted OR AOR at 95% confidence level and statistical significance at a p-value of (p > 0.05). Age, place of residence, occupation, currently pregnant, woman's individual sample weight, completeness of current pregnancy, living children + current pregnancy, ethnicity and number of living children significantly predicted the outcome variable. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Nurses have an important role to play in providing support, education and counselling to people, and must be equipped with the knowledge and skills (including non-judgmental and compassionate care) necessary to provide care that is sensitive to the diverse needs of people from different socio-demographic backgrounds.
