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
Objectives: In Africa, the overall prevalence of adolescent pregnancy is 18.8%, with the sub-Saharan African region having a rate of 19.3%. The highest rates are found in East Africa at 21.5%, and in Ethiopia, the prevalence is even higher at 23.6%. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional explanatory sequential mixed approach study was carried out among 458 teenagers in Burji District from 15 January to 15 February 2024. A multistage systematic sampling technique for quantitative and purposive sampling for qualitative data was used. The quantitative data were collected through face to face interview using a structured and pretested questionnaire by trained data collectors while qualitative data were gathered through in depth interviews and focus group discussions. Variables with p-value less than 0.05 were declared as statistically significant. Results: The prevalence of teenage pregnancy was 21.8% (95% CI: 18.0, 26.0). Factors associated with teenage pregnancy included rural residence (AOR: 3.68; 95%CI: 1.29, 10.44), being married (AOR: 2.75; 95%CI: 1.06, 7.15), not using contraceptives (AOR: 5.75; 95%CI: 2.22, 14.86), and not discussing reproductive health issues (AOR: 2.60; 95%CI: 1.04, 6.76). In addition, the qualitative study identified lack of education and access to resources, social and relationship influences, cultural influences and economic and future outlook as a common cause of teenage pregnancy. Conclusions: Consequently, there is a high prevalence of teenage pregnancy in the area. Furthermore, place of residence, marital status, contraceptive use, and discussions about reproductive health issues were identified as independent factors associated with teenage pregnancy.
