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
backgroundGlobally, many women express the desire to avoid immediate pregnancy for 24 months postdelivery, and only forty percent use contraceptives during this period. There is an enormous demand for postpartum family planning, particularly in developing countries with low- or middle-income grades. Postpartum intrauterine devices such as long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) are among the most effective methods of family planning in the immediate postpartum period, yet their effectiveness is hindered because of a lack of availability and training. Strategies to increase access to LARCs are essential. Hence, the purpose of the current study is to determine the barriers among healthcare providers in providing immediate postpartum family planning services.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at SIMS, a tertiary care teaching hospital, from January to March 2024. Approximately 293 healthcare providers who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were provided an online questionnaire in the form of a Google Forms link, which included a structured questionnaire focusing on various aspects, including demographics, knowledge, practices, and barriers in their practice. The data collected were analysed through SPSS version 26, which employs chi-square tests and Pearson's correlation to determine any significant associations among them. Based on the key statistical outcomes and the significant correlations observed related to the data, a thematic analysis through SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) was conducted. The study adhered to the method outlined by Braun and Clarke (2006) and compiled with the COREQ (consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research) checklist to uphold methodological integrity.
resultsAmong the participants, 92.4% provided family planning counselling after childbirth, predominantly during the antenatal period (75.1%), and the provision of immediate postnatal family planning was reported in 76.1% of the participants, with PPIUDs identified as the most utilized method by 52.6%. Various barriers were identified, including insufficient training on Implanon (33.4%) and the PPIUCD (12.6%), the unavailability of implants (59.0%), and a lack of interest among patients (46.1%). Statistically significant associations were observed between the practice setting and knowledge of postpartum family planning (
conclusionsThis study revealed significant difficulty in delivering prompt postpartum long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs), underscoring the necessity of improved education and training for professionals. Focusing on these challenges is important in enhancing postpartum family planning acceptance and decreasing unfulfilled requirements in resource-limited settings.
