Geographic patterns and determinants of family planning satisfaction among women of reproductive age in Ethiopia.

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
introductionWhile studies in Ethiopia have explored family planning use and contraceptive determinants, limited research examines the spatial variation and predictors of satisfaction with family planning methods. This study addresses this gap using geographically weighted regression (GWR) analysis to assess spatial patterns and determinants of satisfaction with family planning methods among reproductive-age women. Utilizing nationally representative 2021 Performance Monitoring for Action Ethiopia (PMA-ET) data, the study aims to provide targeted insights for improving family planning services.
methodsA weighted sample of 1,456 reproductive-age women was analyzed. Spatial analysis was conducted using ArcGIS 10.7 and SaTScan 9.6. Hotspot detection, ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, and geographically weighted regression (GWR) were applied. The Bernoulli model was used to identify spatial clusters of satisfaction. Associations between satisfaction and explanatory variables were assessed using OLS and GWR, with statistical significance set at P < 0.05.
resultsThe overall satisfaction rate with current family planning methods was 84.1% (95% CI: 82.12, 85.97). Satisfaction levels exhibited a clustered spatial distribution. High-satisfaction hotspots were detected in Addis Ababa, most parts of Amhara, and some areas of Benishangul-Gumuz. SaTScan identified a primary spatial cluster (RR = 1.19, P < 0.001) in Addis Ababa, northern southwestern Ethiopia, and eastern Gambela, and a secondary cluster (RR = 1.18, P < 0.001) in northern Addis Ababa and southern Amhara. GWR analysis revealed that younger women (15-24 years), those with poor wealth status, and urban residents were significant spatial predictors of satisfaction.
conclusionThe study revealed that satisfaction with the current use of family planning methods among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia exhibits regional variations. Statistically significant clusters of higher satisfaction were identified in Addis Ababa, most parts of Amhara, and some parts of Benishangul-Gumuz. Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) analysis indicated that women aged 15-24, those with poor wealth status, and urban residents were significant spatial predictors of satisfaction at the local level. These findings suggest the need for targeted regional strategies to improve satisfaction with family planning services. Interventions should prioritize high-satisfaction areas to sustain progress while addressing disparities in underserved regions. Policymakers should focus on enhancing equitable access, strengthening awareness campaigns, and mitigating socioeconomic barriers to improve satisfaction with family planning.
