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

Introduction: It is evident from the stagnant modern contraceptive rate and the growing population of Pakistan that the family planning (FP) programs in Pakistan have failed to deliver successfully. The study examines the association of domains of women's empowerment, following the Theory of Gender and Power, with the current use of contraceptive methods and how intimate partner violence (IPV) can moderate such associations in Pakistan. Methods: Married women of reproductive age from the Pakistan DHS (2017-18) were included in the analysis ( Results: When all empowerment domains were included in the model along with covariates, education (sexual division of labor), sex negotiations (sexual division of power), and husband's fertility intentions (cathexis) remained significant in their associations with modern contraceptive use. Conclusion: This is the first study in Pakistan to examine multi-faceted empowerment, applying Connell's theory of gender and power to identify key domains associated with contraceptive use. A multi-prong approach to FP programs that aims to improve specific domains of women's empowerment and to increase FP service use may be more likely to succeed than stand-alone programs.
