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
backgroundDespite consistent reporting of high fertility levels in Nigeria, contraceptive prevalence rates remain low. Information on the type of contraceptive uptake among women who visit family planning (FP) clinics is still sketchy in Ibadan. Therefore, we assessed the trend and pattern of contraceptive use among women attending a FP clinic at a tertiary health facility in Ibadan.
methodsA mixed-method design was adopted for the study. Records of women (n = 1,619) who accessed FP services at the University College Hospital [UCH] from 2018 to 2022 were reviewed. The qualitative data included a key informant interview (KII) involving a senior officer of the FP Clinic and a focus group discussion (FGD) among high-fertility (≥ 4 living children) women. Data were analysed using a logistic regression model (α
resultsThe mean age of women was 33.8 ± 6.34 years, 87.7% were in monogamous marriages, 82.3% were Yoruba, and 47.2% did not intend to bear more children. The uptake of long-term and short-term contraceptive methods showed a declining (slope = -3.5) and increasing (slope = + 4.4) trend, respectively. The likelihood of non-use of a long-term contraceptive method was lower among women with ≥ 3 surviving children who had tertiary education (uOR = 0.539, 95% C.I = 0.338-0.859, p = 0.009) and were Christians (uOR = 0.410, 95% C.I = 0.258-0.652, p < 0.001) compared to their counterparts with at most secondary education and were Muslims, respectively. High fertility women who are not using Long-acting reversible contraceptive methods (LACMs) identified fear, partner's influence, misconceptions, cost, parity, privacy, and inconvenience as reasons for the non-use of the methods.
conclusionsConceptive uptake at the UCH followed an increasing trend from 2018 to 2022. Sensitisation on the adoption of LACMs among high-fertility women might improve the use of such methods in the study area.
