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

Background: Limited knowledge and negative attitudes toward modern temporary family planning methods remain significant barriers to reproductive health. Nurse-led interventions play a crucial role in improving awareness and acceptance of these methods among reproductive-age women. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led intervention in enhancing knowledge and attitudes toward modern temporary family planning methods among reproductive-age women in Choolai, Chennai. Methods: A quasi-experimental study design was employed, involving 120 participants divided into experimental and control groups. Pre- and post-intervention data were collected using structured questionnaires. The intervention included educational sessions led by nurses focusing on various temporary family planning methods. Statistical analyses, including paired Student's t-tests, were conducted to assess improvements in knowledge and attitudes. Results: The intervention led to a substantial increase in adequate knowledge (from 16.67% to 75%) and positive attitudes (from 25% to 70%) in the experimental group, while minimal changes were observed in the control group. The mean pre-test knowledge score was 8.23 (SD = 2.56), which significantly increased to 15.15 (SD = 0.95) post-intervention (t = 31.30, P = 0.001). Similarly, the mean pre-test attitude score improved from 45.83 (SD = 5.83) to 79.48 (SD = 3.32) post-intervention (t = 35.46, P = 0.001). A statistically significant association was observed between demographic factors such as age, husbands' age, education level (graduated women), and regular menstrual cycles with post-test knowledge and attitude levels. Conclusion: The findings highlight the effectiveness of nurse-led interventions in improving reproductive health education. Integrating such educational programs into community healthcare services can significantly enhance family planning awareness and acceptance, ultimately contributing to better reproductive health outcomes.
