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
backgroundChina's fast development is markedly impacting on migration, which has brought tremendous pressure and severe challenges to family planning services. Moreover, family planning (FP) is mostly regarded as women's responsibility by some Chinese cultures and societies. Several female contraceptives are easily accessible but only a few are known and widely used. Therefore, this study examined the rural-urban differentials in the factors associated with modern contraceptive usage among married non-pregnant reproductive-aged Chinese women in Hubei Province.
methodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 1st January 2014 to 30th November 2016 to recruit 6,356 married reproductive-aged women in Hubei Province, China. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and multivariable logistic regression were used to examine associations between sociodemographic and reproductive health factors and contraceptive use. Statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05.
resultsThe study showed that unweighted proportion of contraceptive use among rural and urban reproductive aged women were 88.5% and 87.1% respectively. Usage of contraceptive was found to be predicted by age (< 25 years: AOR = 3.14, p = 0.001; 25 to 34 years: AOR = 2.00, p = 0.018), ethnic minority other than Han (AOR = 0.29, p = 0.001), number of children (no child: AOR = 12.55, p = 0.001; one child: AOR = 1.75, p = 0.002), and knowledge of condom (AOR = 3.19, p = 0.001) among rural dwellers. Age (< 25 years: AOR = 2.82, p = 0.005), number of children (no child: AOR = 10.68, p = 0.001), spouse use of contraceptives (AOR = 1.63, p = 0.001) and discussion on contraception with spouse (AOR = 1.79, p = 0.003) were determinants of contraceptive usage among urban dwellers.
conclusionsContraceptive use across both residencies were high. Age, ethnic minority other than Han, parity, and knowledge of condoms were factors associated with contraceptive use among rural settlers. Also, age, parity, spousal usage of contraceptives and discussion on contraception with spouses were determinants of contraceptive use among urban settlers. Thus, family planning education should be all-inclusive, well prepared, and relevant to women to allow them to make informed decisions and improve the uptake of family planning services among rural residents. Men should be encouraged to participate in reproductive health service counselling and support to improve comfort and uptake of contraceptives among female spouses among urban populations.
