Sociodemographic factors associated with modern contraceptive use in Japan: an analysis of national survey data.

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
backgroundFew studies have examined the sociodemographic characteristics associated with modern contraceptive use in Japan. This study investigated these associations using data from the National Fertility Survey.
methodsData were retrieved from the National Fertility Survey targeting unmarried individuals and married women in Japan. The analysis included unmarried individuals with sexual experience and sexually active married women intending to stop or space childbirths. Modern contraceptive use was examined in relation to sociodemographic characteristics, including age group, number of children, educational attainment, employment status, and income, among unmarried men and women as well as married women. Modified Poisson regression models were employed for the analysis.
resultsData from 4,874 unmarried individuals and 1,533 married women were used in the analysis. Among both groups, younger age was associated with a higher prevalence of modern contraceptive use. Among unmarried individuals, having one or two children was significantly negatively associated with modern contraceptive use. Conversely, among married women, having multiple children was positively associated with modern contraceptive use. Additionally, a significant negative association was found between being a junior high or high school graduate and modern contraceptive use among unmarried men. Similarly, a significant negative association was observed among married women who were high school graduates. Conversely, modern contraceptive use was significantly positively associated with being an unemployed wife.
conclusionsModern contraceptive use in Japan was associated with various sociodemographic characteristics, including the number of children, educational attainment, and employment status.
