1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In Ethiopia, despite efforts to increase modern contraceptive use, prevalence remains relatively low. This study aimed to identify factors associated with modern contraceptive use among married women of reproductive age in Ethiopia. We performed a cross-sectional study analyzing 5,684 weighted samples using SPSS version 20. We employed logistic regression model to examine the association between sociodemographic factors and modern contraceptive use. The adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Among currently married women, 38.2% were using modern contraceptives. Injectable contraceptives were the most popular method (60.1%), followed by implants (23%), pills (6.7%), IUDs (5.4%), LAM (2.8%), and others (2.0%). Logistic regression analysis revealed that, women age 20-24 (AOR = 4.044, 95% CI: 2.883-5.674), urban residence (AOR = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.09-1.59), no education (AOR = 0.548, 95% CI: 0.419-0.718), no knowledge of modern contraceptive (AOR = 0.039, 95% CI: 0.014-0.107), and poor wealth index (AOR = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.38-0.53) were significant associated with modern contraceptive use. To enhance family planning in Ethiopia, interventions should increase access to diverse contraceptive methods, especially in rural areas. Community awareness initiatives and government programs can help individuals make informed reproductive health choices. Public education through media, community-based efforts, and effective counseling is also essential.
