Article in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Essential health services that by no means suffered due to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic of which family planning was one of them. World Health Organization (WHO) initiated a multi-country study (India, Nigeria, and Tanzania) in 2021 to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the public health system to deliver family planning (FP) services and the trends in the uptake of contraceptive services in health facilities. As a part of major mixed-method study, secondary data from India's Health Management Information System (HMIS) was analyzed to assess the trends in contraceptive and pregnancy-related services during the pre-and post-COVID-19 phases. During the first wave, the suspension of elective surgery including sterilization camps, Migration, and fear of visiting health facilities were some of the reasons that indirectly affected the trends in utilization of family planning services causing unintended pregnancies and increased ANC registration. Health system should continue providing family planning and abortion services during the pandemic as essential health services. Promotion and advocacy of Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives could help in future health emergencies that can prevent the beneficiary from frequent visits to a health facility.
