Reproductive health equity: demystifying unmet need for family planning among young women in Uttar Pradesh.
Article in Contraception and reproductive medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 unmet need for contraception among adolescent women in India is a significant public health concern, contributing to unintended pregnancies and abortions. This paper seeks to examine the regional variations and factors driving rural-urban disparities in unmet family planning needs in Uttar Pradesh (UP), India's most populous state, where the total unmet need among adolescents is as high as 19%.
methodsThe study is based on 11,018 adolescent women from the recent round of India's DHS, NFHS-5 (2019-21). To fulfil the study's objective, Multilevel logit model and Oaxaca Blinder Decomposition was applied.
resultsThe Multilevel logit model results show statistically significant variations at community and district level, implying a strong presence of unobserved factors affecting the unmet demand. Oaxaca decomposition results show that difference in rural and urban adolescent unmet need is explained by factors like wealth, religion and intra-state regions.
conclusionThe results call for the need to implement culturally appropriate reproductive and sexual health literacy programs to increase uniform access to modern contraception and to raise women's autonomy in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
