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
backgroundHealthcare professionals, the internet, and social circles serve as key sources of information regarding contraception. Women prefer medical experts while men rely more on peers and media. Cultural norms influence contraceptive access and use, shaping gender roles in family planning and impacting availability, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The present study explores Romanian women’s knowledge and use concerning contraception and gynecological health behavior, aiming to also investigate the information sources women use for contraception.
methodsA cross-sectional study, based on a validated 24-item questionnaire, examined contraceptive practices, health effects, and gynecological check-ups among women. Data were statistically analyzed using R software (version 4.1.3), identifying residence, age, BMI, and education as significant predictors of gynecological check-up behavior.
resultsThe findings reveal that education significantly improves contraceptive choices, highly educated women consulting physicians more frequently, while pharmacists remain underutilized. Younger women (18–25) are less likely to undergo gynecological check-ups, whereas older women (36–45) are more conscious about their healthcare routines. Urban women report higher abortion rates, indicating gaps in contraceptive effectiveness despite enhanced service access.
conclusionsThe study underscores the need for expanded healthcare access, targeted educational initiatives, and greater involvement of healthcare professionals to improve gynecological health outcomes and support professionally informed decision-making among Romanian women.
