Intentions and barriers to using long-acting reversible contraceptives among young women seeking safe abortion care in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundLong-acting reversible contraception (LARCs) including intrauterine devices and implants) are safe, highly effective, and recommended for adolescents, yet their use remains low. Reducing the number of repeat abortions can be achieved by improving family planning services after an abortion.
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the perceptions, intentions, and barriers of young women seeking abortion care at the Family Guidance Association of Ethiopia (FGAE) regarding the use of LARCs in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
methodsA qualitative exploratory study was conducted from February 20 to March 20, 2023. Sixteen young women seeking abortion services were selected using a purposive sampling method. Data collection involved the use of interview guides and in-depth interview techniques. The analysis incorporated both emergent inductive codes derived from the interview questions and a priori codes grounded in the theoretical framework.
resultsThe data revealed three main themes: Young Women's Perceptions of LARCs, Intentions to Use LARCs, and Perceived barriers.
conclusionsThis study's findings provide valuable insights into young women's perceptions, intentions and barriers regarding LARCs. Healthcare professionals and relevant stakeholders develop focused strategies that dispel myths, increase accessibility, and improve counseling on LARCs.
