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
Background: Unintended pregnancies, whether mistimed or unwanted, are a major public health concern. These pregnancies can negatively impact maternal and child health, as well as the social and economic well-being of families. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Aligarh, North India, to estimate its prevalence and sociodemographic and women-specific correlates. Materials and Methods: The sample size for this study was calculated using a 14% prevalence rate of unintended pregnancies, with the formula N = [(1.96) Results: The overall prevalence of unintended pregnancies among the study population was 34%. Several determinants were found to be significantly associated with unintended pregnancies, including women aged over 30 years (AOR: 2.09), rural residence (AOR: 2.32), lower educational levels, having a spouse engaged in unskilled labour, pregnancy before the age of 18 (AOR: 7.42), and high birth order. Conclusion: The study identified key factors associated with unintended pregnancies, including younger maternal age, rural residence, low education, and low socioeconomic status. Women-specific factors included early marriage and first pregnancy, high birth order, and lack of autonomy.
