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
backgroundWomen's decision-making power on contraceptive use is crucial for increasing modern contraceptive uptake. However, evidence in Ethiopia regarding this topic is limited and inconclusive.
objectiveTo assess the prevalence and factors associated with women's decision-making power on modern contraceptive use in Girawa district, Eastern Ethiopia, January 1-30, 2024.
methodA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 510 married contraceptive users in Girawa district selected through multistage sampling. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analyses were employed. The questionnaire was developed reviewing different literature, and pretested before actual data collection. Trained data collectors were collected the data. Face-to-face interview was conducted to collect data from study participants. Data cleaned and entered to Epidata, transferred to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Descriptive statistics were computed for all variables and the results were presented using frequency, tables and percentages. Using binary logistic regression, bivariate analysis was conducted to recruit variables for multivariable analysis at p-value of less than 0.25. Then multivariable analysis was conducted to control confounding variables. The strength of associations of variables was reported using odds ratio, with its 95% confidence interval, and p-value less than 0.05 used to declare significant association of explanatory with outcome variable.
resultsThe prevalence of women's decision-making power on modern contraceptive use was 78% (95%CI: 74.4, 81.6). Factors significantly associated with increased decision-making power included: women's education (primary: AOR = 10.51[5.37, 20.56]; secondary and above: AOR = 2.58[1.35, 4.93]), husband's education (primary: AOR = 2.53[1.33, 4.81]; secondary and above: AOR = 2.25[1.08, 4.68]), government employment (AOR = 5.29[1.44, 19.57]), ANC visits (1-3: AOR = 2.16[1.18, 3.95]; ≥4: AOR = 1.86[1.85, 4.05]), positive attitude (AOR = 2.83[1.28, 6.25]), and good knowledge about modern contraceptives (AOR = 3.67[1.78, 7.56]).
conclusionThree in four married women in Girawa district have decision-making power on modern contraceptive use. Education, employment, Antenatal care (ANC) utilization, positive attitudes, and good knowledge about contraceptives were associated with increased decision-making power. Interventions targeting these factors could further empower women in contraceptive decision-making.
