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
objectiveTo assess the prevalence of modern contraceptive discontinuation and associated factors among married reproductive age (15-49 years) group women. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING AND
participantsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Debre Berhan town among 500 reproductive age group women. Study participants were selected using two-stage sampling procedures. Data were collected using a semistructured face-to-face interview questionnaire. The data were entered in EpiData V.4.2.0 and then exported to SPSS V.25 software for data analysis. Descriptive statistics such as mean, per cent and frequency were used to summarise women's characteristics. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors' variables with modern contraceptive discontinuation and p<0.05 was used to declare association.
resultsThe prevalence of modern contraceptive discontinuation among married reproductive age group women was 35.2% with a mean duration of use of 2.6±2.1 months. This study also revealed that the discontinuation rate was 12.6% within the first year of use. In the current study, those living with their husband (adjusted OR (AOR)=3.81, p<0.001), experiencing side effects while using modern contraceptives (AOR=2.45, p=0.02), getting counselling service (AOR=5.51, p<0.001) and respondent husband acceptance of her modern contraceptive use (AOR=3.85, p=0.01) were significantly associated with modern contraceptive discontinuation.
conclusionThe findings of this study showed that the prevalence of modern contraceptive discontinuation rate of all methods among married reproductive age group women was 35.2%. To reduce modern contraceptive discontinuation, mutually, it is important to create community awareness about the importance of the continued use of modern contraceptives, improve the quality of family planning service in the health institution, strengthen family planning counselling service and give adequate counselling on details of effectiveness and side effects.
