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

objectiveThe objective of the study was to determine the magnitude of and the factors associated with late presentation for induced abortion care services at hospitals in the South Gondar district of Ethiopia.

designThis study employed an institution-based, cross-sectional design.

settingThe study was conducted at five hospitals in the South Gondar district of Ethiopia.

participantsA total of 381 women recruited through systematic random sampling techniques from October 2022 to February 2023 participated in the study. All women presenting for safe abortion care services at selected hospitals during the data collection period were included, whereas induced abortion care service due to the pregnancy being a high risk to maternal health or at high risk for fetal anomaly were excluded from the study. Data were collected at the abortion clinic at the time of presentation through face-to-face interviews using a pretested and structured questionnaire. OUTCOME MEASURES: The magnitude of and the factors associated with late presentation for induced abortion care service were assessed in the study. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The collected data were entered and coded using EpiData V.4.6, and SPSS V.25 was used for analysis. Binary logistic regression analyses were undertaken to identify the factors associated with the outcome variable. The level of significance was declared at a p value of <0.05.

resultsThe magnitude of late presentation for induced abortion care service was 21.5% (95% CI 17.7, 25.7). Being a rural resident (adjusted OR (AOR) = 1.934; 95% CI 1.010, 3.703), history of use of contraceptives (AOR=0.462; 95% CI 0.227, 0.938), having irregular menstrual cycles (AOR=5.132; 95% CI 2.648, 9.944), delayed decision for termination (AOR=8.196; 95% CI 3.996, 16.808) and pregnancy resulting from incest (AOR=2.549; 95% CI 1.286, 5.052) were factors significantly associated with late presentation for induced abortion care.

conclusionIncreased awareness and education in rural communities related to late presentations for induced abortion and the associated complications may facilitate timely decision-making in the context of induced abortion, resulting in reduced morbidity and mortality.
