Motivators and barriers to the uptake of digital health platforms for family planning services in Lagos, Nigeria: A mixed-methods study.

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: Inadequate access to family planning (FP) services drives low contraceptive uptake in Nigeria. Digital platforms such as e-pharmacy and telemedicine offer potential to improve access, privacy, and convenience. This study examines factors influencing provider and user adoption of digital FP services in Lagos. Methods: We used an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design. Interviews ( Results: Participants comprised online (FP and non-FP) and brick-and-mortar (FP and non-FP) users. Awareness e-pharmacies for FP was high (78%), yet usage was limited (24%). Similarly, telemedicine awareness was very low (30%), and usage was lower (6%) compared with e-pharmacy. Online platform use for FP (e-Pharmacy/telemedicine) was significantly associated ( Conclusions: E-pharmacy and telemedicine can ease FP access, especially for younger, educated, high-income users. However, effective adoption requires addressing demand-side user barriers and supply-side provider concerns.
