Factors associated with unplanned pregnancy among pregnant women in Uganda.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
Unplanned pregnancies significantly contribute to maternal morbidity and mortality especially in settings where the abortion law is restrictive. This study aimed to establish the prevalence and factors associated with unplanned pregnancy among women attending antenatal clinic in Uganda. This cross-section study was carried out from 31st January to 30th June 2023 at Kawempe national referral hospital in Uganda. Three hundred and eighty-four pregnant mothers gave information on socio demographic, health system and family planning factors. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression was done to determine the factors associated with unplanned pregnancy. The prevalence of unplanned pregnancy was (130/384) 34%. Unplanned pregnancy was associated with: age 20-24 years (AOR;2.8, 95%CI:1.4-5.8) and 25-34 years (AOR = 3.9,95%CI = 2.6-10.2), urban dwelling (AOR = 3.9,95%CI = 2.2-7.5) monogamy (AOR = 3.6,95%CI = 2.1-6.9), jobless women (AOR = 4.2,95%CI = 2.4-8.9) spouse in an informal sector (AOR = 2.8,95%CI = 1.7-4.5) lack of family planning communication (AOR = 2.3,95%CI = 1.4-5.4), single women (AOR = 0.4,95%CI = 0.2-0.8), income of Uganda shillings ≥ 200,000 (AOR = 0.3,95%CI = 0.1-0.6) and Seventh day Adventist belief (AOR = 0.2,95%CI = 0.09-0.6). There was a high prevalence of unplanned pregnancy in this tertiary hospital, associated with maternal age, place of residence, family type, employment status, not discussing about family planning among spouses, marital status, family income and being of Seventh Day Adventist faith. A community-based study in both urban and rural settings is recommended.
