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
Background: Early resumption of sexual intercourse in the puerperium is a concern for couples because it is often not discussed during pre-natal or postpartum care. Objective: This cross-sectional survey aimed to establish the current burden and factors associated with the early resumption of sexual intercourse within the puerperium at the National Referral Hospital and Mengo Hospital. Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study among 445 parous women attending the six-week postpartum review and the young child clinic at Kawempe National Referral and Mengo Hospitals between March and May 2021. Results: The prevalence of ERSP within the puerperium was 39%. This study's earliest time to resume sexual intercourse was one week; the majority had resumed by week four (9.2%). Factors associated with the early resumption of sexual relations were the person's tribe, going to the husband's home after birth, and parity. The prevalence of sexual morbidities was 13%. Seventy-five (75%) of mothers did not receive information from the health care workers on when they can resume sex following childbirth. Conclusion: Puerperal sexual intercourse is still prevalent in Uganda. Interventions to reduce the resumption of sexual intercourse in the puerperium should focus on these determinants to delay puerperal sexual intercourse.
