1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThis study was conducted to determine the effects of family planning education given to married illiterate women of reproductive age via visual material support on their family planning attitudes and contraceptive preferences.

methodThe randomized controlled study was carried out between 31 January and 31 July 2023. The sample of the study consisted of 148 women, including 74 in the experimental group and 74 in the control group. Using a Family Planning Education Booklet prepared for illiterate women, an education program lasting a week in total was held in three sessions. No intervention was made in the control group. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, a Family Planning Assessment Form, and the Family Planning Attitude Scale.

resultsAfter the intervention, the Family Planning Attitude Scale total and subscale scores of the participants were significantly higher in the experimental group compared to both their pretest scores and the posttest scores of the control group (p < 0.001). There was an increase in the rates of participants who preferred modern and effective family planning methods in the experimental group after the education program. All participants in the experimental group stated that they were satisfied with the education given within the scope of the study.

conclusionThe family planning education program provided to women using educational content prepared for illiterate women was effective in increasing the knowledge and positive attitudes of the women regarding family planning.
