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
backgroundDespite efforts to improve its uptake, contraceptive use in Nigeria remains low. Understanding regional disparities and sociodemographic determinants of contraceptive intention is crucial for developing effective family planning strategies. This study aimed to investigate these factors in women of reproductive age in Nigeria.
methodsThis cross-sectional study analysed data from 36,179 women aged 15-49 participating in the 2018 Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the association between sociodemographic factors and contraceptive use intention.
resultsThe overall prevalence of contraceptive intentions was 39.18%, with significant regional variation. South East had the highest intention at 44.85%, while North East had the lowest intention at 34.76%. Education was a strong predictor, with those with higher education showing 2.657 times greater odds of using contraception (AOR: 2.657, 95% CI: 2.339-3.019, p < 0.001). Muslim women and rural residents exhibited lower odds of intention, while women aged 20-24 years had the highest odds (AOR: 1.305, 95% CI: 1.187-1.435, p < 0.001).
conclusionThere were significant regional disparities and complex sociodemographic patterns in contraceptive intention among Nigerian women. Tailored interventions addressing educational, religious, economic, and geographical barriers are required to increase contraceptive uptake and improve reproductive health outcomes.
