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
Unintended pregnancy is an unplanned or unwanted at conception. It carries significant social, emotional, and health consequences for women, families and communities. In Ethiopia, approximately one-third of married women report that their pregnancies are an unintended. Despite this burden, evidence on contributing factors remains limited, particularly in Lemi Kura sub city. This study, aimed to identify determinants of an unintended pregnancy among women attending antenatal care services in health facilities in Lemi Kura, Addis Ababa. We conducted a facility-based case-control study in Lemi Kura sub-city, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from January 3 to February 18, 2022. Using cluster random sampling, 103 cases (women with an unintended pregnancies) and 197 controls (women with planned pregnancies) attending antenatal care units were selected. Data were collected through interviewer-administered, pretested questionnaires. The sample size was calculated using Epi-Info version 7. Analysis was performed in SPSS version 20, applying multivariable logistic regression. Results were reported as adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI), and statistical significance was declared at p < 0.05. The Muslim women (AOR: 3.33, 95% CI: 1.21-9.15); Protestant women (AOR: 3.06, 95% CI: 1.07-8.75); reduced women's autonomy (AOR: 16.58, 95% CI: 2.40-114.15); residing 4 km or more from the antenatal care facility (AOR: 2.70, 95% CI: 1.07-8.75); having two or more living children(parity) (AOR: 5.37, 95% CI: 1.60-18.15); desiring two or fewer children(Ideal) (AOR: 3.63, 95% CI: 1.50-9.01); and having multiple sexual partners (AOR: 4.25, 95% CI: 1.38-30.38) were significant predictors of unintended pregnancy. Low knowledge of family planning methods, unmarried, religion, low autonomy, multiparous, natural method use, health service inaccessibility and having multiple sexual partners predicted unintended pregnancy. For intervention, engaging religious leaders and focusing on multiparous with empowering women is essential.
