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
objectiveTo measure the woman-centeredness of family planning (FP) care and determine its correlates in West Cameroon.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analytical study from August to November 2024 in the Mifi Health District (MHD). We included women receiving FP care in all the public health facilities. We collected data were using the person-centered FP care scale (PCFPS). Descriptive and inferential statistics were computed with R software. Respondents' characteristics were summarized, and woman-centeredness scores computed using the PCFPS guide. We used the cutoff threshold technique to distinguish high and low scores. Bivariate and multivariate linear regressions were conducted to determine the correlates of woman-centeredness of FP care. Regression coefficients with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed with a significance threshold of 5%.
resultsThe median (range) woman-centeredness score for the 179 respondents was 73.33% (12.22-88.88). Specifically, the median (range) score (76.38% [8.33-91.66]) for woman's respect and autonomy was higher than that (61.11% [5.55-100]) for health facility environment. The FP care woman-centeredness score at the district hospital was seven-point higher than in first-level primary healthcare facilities (a.Coefficient: 7.33; 95% CI: 1.11-13.56; P = 0.02). Likewise the woman-centeredness score of FP care for women with a monthly income ≤100 USD was significantly lower than for women earning >300 USD monthly (a.Coefficient: -6.98; 95% CI: -12.96 to -1.01; P = 0.02).
conclusionFP care in the MHD was highly women centered. However, FP care was less likely to be woman-centered for low-income women and for those attending first-level primary health care facilities.
