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: Preventing unintended pregnancies among reproductive-aged women with HIV (WWH) is crucial in combating mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV. We assessed the utilization of modern contraceptives and related factors among WWH attending the antiretroviral therapy (ART) clinic at a faith-based tertiary hospital in northern Uganda. Objectives: To determine the proportion of and factors associated with the utilization of modern contraceptives among WWH of reproductive age attending the ART clinic in St. Mary's Hospital Lacor. Design: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the HIV clinic within St. Mary's Hospital Lacor, from February to May 2023. Methods: Between February and May 2023, we conducted a cross-sectional study among randomly selected WWH of reproductive age attending the ART clinic at a faith-based health facility, St. Mary's Hospital Lacor in Gulu city, northern Uganda. Quantitative data were collected using semi-structured questionnaires and analyzed using STATA version 16. Factors associated with the utilization of modern contraceptives were assessed using multivariable logistic regression. Results: Of the 385 enrolled participants, 94 (24.4%) reported current modern contraceptive use, and 58 (15.1%) were using natural methods. Being referred to another facility to access modern contraceptives (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.60, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.31-5.17, Conclusion: Only about one in every four WWH was currently using modern methods of contraceptives. There is a need to provide regular counseling to WWH on modern contraceptive methods to create awareness of the vital connection between modern contraceptive use and MTCT, as well as strengthen referral of clients opting to use modern contraceptives to facilities providing these services.
