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: Intention to use future contraception after abortion refers to a woman's expressed plan to use a contraceptive method after abortion. Inadequate family planning counselling and limited access to contraceptive services among post-abortion women may increase the risk of repeated unintended pregnancies and induced abortions. Although the Ethiopian Ministry of Health has integrated safe abortion care with post-abortion family planning services, abortion rates remain high and contraceptive utilization remains low in many areas, including the study setting. Limited evidence exists regarding women's intention to use future contraception after abortion in Debre Markos town. This study assessed the intention to use future contraception after abortion and its associated factors among women receiving abortion services in health facilities of Debre Markos town, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 326 women selected by consecutive sampling. Data were collected using a structured, pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire, entered into EpiData 4.6, and analysed using Stata 17. Binary logistic regression was performed. Variables with Results: The proportion intending to use future contraception after abortion was 70.2% (95% CI: 65.0%-75.2%). Higher educational status (AOR = 4.42; 95% CI: 1.34-14.48), unintended pregnancy (AOR = 5.00; 95% CI: 1.29-19.36), desire to avoid pregnancy for at least six months (AOR = 8.14; 95% CI: 3.10-21.38), favourable attitude (AOR = 6.25; 95% CI: 2.31-16.89), and good knowledge (AOR = 7.99; 95% CI: 3.00-21.30) were positively associated with intention. Spontaneous abortion (AOR = 0.15; 95% CI: 0.02-0.52) and not receiving the preferred contraceptive method (AOR = 0.13; 95% CI: 0.05-0.34) were negatively associated. Conclusion: Seven in ten women intended to use future contraception after abortion. Educational status, unintended pregnancy, desire to delay pregnancy, favourable attitude, and good knowledge increased intention, whereas spontaneous abortion and not receiving the preferred contraceptive method reduced intention.
