Husbands involvement in contraceptive decision-making in a northern Nigerian city.

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
backgroundMale partners predominantly make reproductive health decisions in northern Nigeria. There is a need to investigate the extent of husbands' involvement in contraceptive decision-making in this geographical setting and understand the factors that influence their participation.
methodWe collected quantitative data from a cross-section of 154 married men residing within Kano Metropolis using an adapted interviewer-administered questionnaire. We evaluated male involvement in contraceptive decision-making using five domains. Multivariable binary logistic regression modeling was employed to identify sociodemographic variables independently associated with the husband's involvement.
resultsOver half of the husbands (57.5%) were found to be actively involved in contraceptive decision-making. The most common activities performed by the husbands were discussing the use of contraceptives with their partners and providing financial support to access contraceptive services. Participants with tertiary education (OR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.4-4.8, 0.01), civil servants (OR: 3.2, 95% CI: 1.6-7.2, < 0.001) and those with good knowledge of contraception (OR: 6.0, 95% CI: 4.1-18.9, < 0.001) demonstrated a higher likelihood of involvement. Additionally, the number of children was inversely related to involvement, with participants with five or more children being less likely to participate in contraceptive decision-making (OR: 0.2, 95% CI: 0.4-0.6, < 0.001) compared to those with fewer children.
conclusionThe study demonstrated that despite good knowledge of contraception among respondents, direct involvement in contraceptive practices remained relatively inadequate. It provides valuable insights by identifying key factors that influence involvement, offering relevant information for policymakers and health programs.
