Evolving Landscape of Modern Contraceptive Use in Ethiopia: A Two-Decade Analysis.
Article in International journal of public health, 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
Objective: The prevalence of modern contraceptive use in Ethiopia has increased in the past two decades. Despite these efforts, unmet needs for modern contraception persist, with limited knowledge on regional variations and determining factors. Method: We analyzed data from the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Surveys (EDHS) from 2000, 2005, 2011, 2016, and 2019. Descriptive statistics examined regional variations and trends in modern contraceptive use among married, non-pregnant women. Multilevel analysis identified individual and community-level factors influencing modern contraceptive use. Result: Nationally, modern contraceptive prevalence (mCP) increased, but regional disparities widened, notably between Addis Ababa and Somalia, from 34.8 to 51.8 percentage points. Factors such as community wealth, residence, age, education, and number of children significantly influenced contraceptive use. The greatest increase in mCP was among women aged 15-24, with a rise of 49.4 percentage points from 2000 to 2019. Conclusion: Tailored reproductive health services at both individual and community levels are essential to address the growing regional disparities in modern contraceptive use among married women in Ethiopia.
