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
backgroundModern contraceptive methods (MCM) reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy and short birth intervals. Despite growing attention to reproductive health, the factors influencing the use of MCM among sexually active adolescent females in Bangladesh remain underexplored. The objectives of this study are to examine trends in the use of MCM and to identify the significant factors associated with the usage of MCM among sexually active adolescent females in Bangladesh.
methodsIn this study, we used secondary data from the 2011, 2014, 2017-18, and 2022 rounds of the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys (BDHS) to examine trends in the use of MCM. Additionally, we analyzed data from the selected surveys to identify factors associated with the use of MCM. Male and female sterilization, intrauterine devices (IUDs), injectables, implants, contraceptive pills, male and female condoms, emergency contraception, the standard days method, and the lactational amenorrhea method were considered modern contraceptive methods in the study. A logistic regression model was used to identify the factors influencing the use of MCM.
resultsThis study revealed that the proportion of the use of MCM among overall surveys was found to be 53.2%, and MCM was more used in urban areas compared to rural areas. It was noted that no consistent pattern was observed in urban, rural, and overall survey. The model identified seven factors associated with the use of MCM among adolescent females: (i) living in the Barisal, Dhaka, Khulna, and Rajshahi divisions; (ii) residing in an urban area; (iii) mass media exposure; (iv) living with one or more children, (v) terminating pregnancy, (vi) visits by a family planning worker; (vii) knowledge on family planning; and (viii) moderate contraceptive-using autonomy.
conclusionThis study highlights key factors influencing the use of MCM among sexually active adolescent females. Addressing these factors-such as strengthening public health sector services, improving access to education, enhancing socioeconomic status, and promoting contraceptive autonomy-is essential to increasing MCM usage among adolescent females.
