Utilization of modern contraception and determinants among HIV positive women in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC women's health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe burden of pediatric HIV/AIDS, mother-to-child transmission rate, and unintended pregnancy among HIV-positive women remain high in sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia. Provision of contraceptives is an undeniable strategy to overcome the risks. However, pooled data to provide informed decisions on modern contraceptive use among HIV-positive women attending ART clinics in Ethiopia are meager. Hence, this review aimed to estimate the magnitude of modern contraception, and revisable long act contraceptives methods (RLCM) use and associated factors among HIV positive ART clinic attending women.
methodsA systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted using PubMed, Google, Cochrane library, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus database. A funnel plot and Egger's regression test were used to assess publication bias. Heterogeneity of studies was assessed using I-square statistics and the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) quality assessment tool was applied to ensure the quality of the included articles. We employed a random-effect model to pool the national utilization of modern contraceptives and the effect size of associated factors. We conducted sub-group analysis by regions to control heterogeneity and to detect variation.
resultsA total of 21 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The magnitude of pooled utilization of modern contraceptive and RLCM was 60% [95% CI: 52-68] and 11%, [95% CI: 8-14], respectively. In the random effect model, young women [OR = 2.36, 95% CI: 1.78-3.13], attending secondary school and above [AOR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.06-1.69], having two or more live children [AOR = 1.84, 95% CI: 1.46-2.34], discussion with a husband [AOR = 2.92, 95% CI: 2.39-3.57], CD4 > 250cells/mm
conclusionOverall the utilization of RLCM among modern contraceptive users HIV positive women is low. Therefore, to improve the uptake of RLCM among modern contraceptive users HIV positive women, policymakers and program designers need to take into account age and educational levels of women and programs which enhance reproductive health consultation habit between couples. Moreover, integration of family planning services to ART clinics needs to be strengthened.
