Predictors of client satisfaction with family planning services in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in global women's health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The use of modern contraceptives by married Ethiopian women has increased over the past 15 years. Despite a few studies reporting different predictors of satisfaction with family planning services, there is a lack of nationwide data showing the determinants of client satisfaction with family planning services. Thus, this meta-analysis aimed to determine the predictors of client satisfaction with family planning services in Ethiopia. Methods: From January 20 to March 10, 2024, a thorough search of the literature was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Google Scholar. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the critical assessment checklist developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The statistical program Stata 11 was used to carry out the analysis. Using Cochran's Q-statistic, heterogeneity was statistically assessed and measured by the Results: Independent factors influencing clients' satisfaction with family planning services included waiting times of less than one hour (POR = 4.37; 95% CI: 2.05, 9.32), ensuring privacy (POR = 6.31; 95% CI: 2.78, 14.28), convenient opening hours (POR = 5.91; 95% CI: 1.61, 21.63), education level above primary school (AOR = 2.61; 95% CI: 1.02, 6.68), being informed about side effects (AOR = 3.08; 95% CI: 1.22, 7.74), and receiving adequate information (POR = 4.2; 95% CI: 1.87, 9.44). Conclusion: The findings indicate that key factors significantly influencing client satisfaction with family planning services include reduced waiting times, privacy protection, convenient service hours, higher education levels, being informed about potential side effects, and receiving comprehensive information. These elements are critical for improving satisfaction and should be prioritized in family planning services. As a result, Ethiopian policymakers and decision-makers must devise plans to maximize client satisfaction with healthcare services through client-centered care.
