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 Postpartum contraception is vital for maternal and neonatal health. In India, male partners play a decisive role in reproductive choices, yet their perspectives on postpartum contraception remain underexplored. Understanding men's knowledge, beliefs, fears, attitudes, and practices is crucial for improving contraceptive uptake and promoting shared decision-making in family planning. We aimed to design a study to explore Indian men's perspectives regarding postpartum contraception. Materials and methods A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted over one year at a tertiary care teaching hospital in India after obtaining institutional ethics approval. A total of 1560 husbands of antenatal and postpartum women were recruited after informed consent. A semi-quantitative 20-item questionnaire assessed five domains: knowledge, beliefs, fears, attitudes, and practices. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, with descriptive statistics and chi-square tests;
