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
Introduction: the purpose of this study was to determine predominant factors for modern contraceptive non-use in women of childbearing age living in the Ibanda Health Zone. Methods: we conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study from May 1 to May 31, 2019. All women aged 13-45 who were not pregnant and had been living in the Ibanda Health Zone for two years, were enrolled. Data collection was carried out by free interview. Modern contraceptive prevalence referred to women using modern contraceptives at the time of the survey. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 20 software. Proportions were compared setting significance threshold at 5%, with an odds ratio greater than 1 and a confidence interval excluding 1 at its lower bound. Results: the prevalence of modern contraceptive utilization was 23,9%, several women (67,2%) refused to use modern contraceptive methods, despite the information they had, because of their desire for maternity and the loss of a baby during delivery (OR: 0.07; CI95%: 0.03-0.18; p=0.000). Conclusion: improving the survival rate for children in each household, a key indicator for the quality of obstetric and pediatric care in a country and increasing awareness on disinformation about the risks of infertility by contraceptive use are prerequisites to increase the use of modern contraceptive methods in the Ibanda Health Zone.
