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
introductionAn intrauterine device (IUD) is a highly effective long-acting and reversible contraceptive method widely available around the world and safe for nearly all women. However, very few women in Southwestern Ethiopia use.
objectivesTo identify factors influencing an intention to use the intrauterine device among family planning users in Southwestern, Ethiopia.
methodsA facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 784 modern family planning users from 15
resultsThirty percent intended to use IUD. The most commonly cited reasons for their lack of an intention to use IUD were fear of side effects, lack of knowledge, and husband disapproval. Being able to read and write (AOR = 3.33 [95% C.I. 1.48, 7.49]) compared to those unable to read and write; Being rich (AOR = 1.69 [95% C.I. 1.02, 2.82]) compared to the poor; being knowledgeable about IUD (AOR = 2.74 [95% C.I. [1.67, 4.51]); having higher reproductive health autonomy (AOR = 1.53 [95% C.I. [1.09, 2.16]) were found to be significant factors influencing women's intention to use an IUD.
conclusionNearly one-third of women who attend health facilities are currently using contraception reported an intention to use an IUD in the future. Public health interventions should focus on the cited reasons reaching all the community in need, and give priority for women who unable read and write, and lowest wealth status. Further interventional studies were recommended to determine effective interventions to increase women's intention to use intrauterine device.
