Magnitude of Sexual and Reproductive Health Service Utilization Among Youths and Adolescents Living With Disability in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background and Aims: Sexual and reproductive health services are essential for the well-being of youths and adolescents, including those living with disabilities. There was inconsistent evidence on the magnitude of sexual and reproductive health services utilization among youths and adolescents living with a disability. Therefore, this review aimed to assess the pooled magnitude of sexual and reproductive health service utilization among youths and adolescents living with a disability. Methods: Relevant databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, AJOL, Semantic Scholar, Epistemonikos, Hinari, Google Scholar, and direct Google were used to search articles. This study included articles (both peer-reviewed and preprints) in the English language from September 2013 to May 2, 2024. The pooled magnitude of sexual and reproductive health service utilization among youths and adolescents with a disability was estimated using a weighted DerSimonian-laird random effect model. The Results: Based on this systematic review and meta-analysis, the pooled magnitude of sexual and reproductive health service utilization among youths and adolescents with disability in Ethiopia was 29.11% (95% CI: 13.69, 44.53). Conclusions: The overall pooled magnitude of sexual and reproductive health service utilization among youths with disabilities was low in Ethiopia. The Ministry of Health and other collaborating organizations working on youth and adolescents with a disability should give special attention to enhancing the utilization of sexual and reproductive health services for youths and adolescents living with a disability. It is important to develop and create strategies that enable young people with disabilities to utilize sexual and reproductive health services, thereby protecting the rights and respecting the dignity of individuals with disabilities.
