Spatial disparities and determinants of modern contraceptive use among reproductive age women in Ethiopia: application of multilevel spatial analysis.
Article in Frontiers in global women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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: Contraception aims to prevent unintended pregnancies, significantly impacting maternal and infant mortality in sub-Saharan Africa, especially in Ethiopia. This study investigates factors influencing modern contraceptive use among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia. Methods: We analyzed the 2019 Ethiopia Mini Demographic and Health Survey (EMDHS) dataset, which includes 8,196 weighted samples of women and girls aged 15-49. Data management utilized STATA version 17, R version 4.2.2, and Arc GIS 10.8 for mapping. We employed multilevel and spatial analyses to identify determinants. Results: Only 26% of the women used modern contraceptives, with notable spatial clustering (Global Moran's Index = 0.237776, Conclusions: Modern contraceptive use among Ethiopian women is low and varies by cluster. Factors positively associated include age of 25-34, education, marital status, and community wealth. Conversely, women aged 35-49, those with three or more children, and those in the Somali region showed lower usage. Community-level interventions are necessary to improve modern contraceptive adoption.
