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: Emergency contraception (EC) is an effective and safe choice for preventing unintended pregnancies if taken within the first 4 to 5 days. The review of existing literature indicates that EC options are often underused globally, primarily due to insufficient awareness among women. Aim: To determine the knowledge and attitude toward the use of EC methods among women at Primary Health Care Centers (PHCCs) at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC)-Jeddah. Materials and Methods: This is a questionnaire-based, cross-sectional observational study. It was conducted among women of the reproductive age group (18-55 years) who visited the PHCCs at KAMC-J, Saudi Arabia from 1 Statistical Analysis: The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 29 was used. Results: A total of 378 women took part in the study. The majority (47.6%) were aged between 26 and 35 years and 38.4% reported that they had no knowledge of EC and 61.6% reported they had knowledge about ER. The major source of knowledge was the Internet. (81.0%) reported their physician had not discussed EC with them and only 12.4% (47 participants) reported such a discussion, whereas 6.6% (25 participants) were unsure. Only a small percentage of participants (5.0%) reported having used EC. A significant association was found between knowledge about EC and several factors. Conclusion: This study showed that many participants at PHCCs at KAMC-J had insufficient knowledge of EC, with the Internet being the most common source of information. Demographic factors, such as age, marital status, education level, employment, number of children, income, and being a healthcare worker, were significantly associated with the level of EC knowledge.
