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: Male involvement in family planning (FP) is crucial for reducing unplanned pregnancies, unsafe abortions, and maternal and child mortality. As primary decision-makers in many African households, men significantly influence women's use of contraceptive methods. However, male participation in FP services remains limited for various reasons. This study aims to assess male involvement in FP services and associated factors in Musanze district, Northern Rwanda. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 397 married men in Musanze district. Participants were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected through pre-tested, interview-administered questionnaires. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified factors associated with male involvement in FP services. Results: The overall level of male involvement in FP services was 36.7%. Male involvement was influenced by age (OR=6.199, 95% CI: 1.727-22.251), employment status (OR=2, 95% CI: 1.24-3.224) and distance to the FP facilities (OR=0.071, 95% CI: 0.009-0.579). Conclusion: Male involvement in FP services in Musanze district is low. Factors such as age, employment, and distance to FP facilities influence male involvement in FP. Integrating men into existing FP services could enhance utilization and sustainability.
