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: Women with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are at an elevated risk of experiencing pregnancy-related complications. Usually, they are advised to use effective family planning (FP) methods. This study assessed the prevalence of FP use and the factors influencing their use among women with NCDs in urban areas in Rwanda. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted for 244 women aged 15-49 years attending follow up care in NCDs clinics at selected health centers and hospitals. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Simple logistic regression was used to identify the association between independent variables and FP use, while multinomial logistic regression examined the strength of the identified association between both modern and natural FP methods. Results: The prevalence of FP use among female with NCDs in reproductive age is 68.4%. The most common NCDs in the group are hypertension, diabetes, cancer, and heart failure. Women aged 25-34 mostly prefer to use modern FP method, the same as women living in the Southern Province. Furthermore, living with a partner had higher odds of using both natural and modern methods of FP. Conclusion: Use of FP among women with NCDs remains suboptimal. There is a need for more individualized health education and counselling to support reproductive aged women with NCDs in making informed decisions about FP. Such efforts are essential to empower these women and promote their overall well-being.
