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
backgroundThe utilization of modern contraceptives remains low in sub-Saharan African countries, including Ethiopia. The main barrier to the intention to use contraceptives may be the dimensions of ideation. Therefore, this study assessed the role of ideation on the intention to use contraceptives in Shenen Dhugo district, eastern Ethiopia.
methodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 501 married women in Shenen Dhugo district, eastern Ethiopia, from September 1 to 30, 2023. Two-stage stratified sampling techniques were employed to select the participants. The collected data were entered into EpiData Version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS Version 27.0. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression were used to analyze the determinants of intention to use contraceptives. An adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% confidence interval was used to report the strength of the association, and the statistical significance was declared at a p - value < 0.05.
resultsIn this study, 48.5% (95% CI: 44.1%, 52.9%) of married women intended to use contraceptives. Dimensions of contraceptive ideation: social interaction (AOR = 4.54, 95% CI: 2.73, 7.53), attitude toward contraceptives (AOR = 3.56, 95% CI: 2.11, 6.00), perceived self-efficacy (AOR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.45, 3.79), awareness about contraceptives (AOR = 3.76, 95% CI: 1.94, 7.29), and perceived norms (AOR = 2.82, 95% CI: 1.70, 4.69) were found to be the main predictors of contraceptive use intention. Having a higher income (AOR = 3.15, 95% CI: 1.44, 6.90), secondary school education level (AOR = 3.25, 95% CI: 1.20, 8.80), and having used previous contraceptives (AOR = 5.74, 95% CI: 3.27, 10.07) were the factors improving the women's intention to use contraceptives.
conclusionNearly half of married women intended to use a contraceptive in Shenen Dhugo, eastern Ethiopia. This study also provides evidence about the importance of ideation in helping to promote women's intention to use contraceptives. Therefore, developing interventions that enhance women's contraceptive ideation and encouraging couples to determine a preferred family size are innovative strategies for contraceptive self-efficacy and intention to use. In addition, providing behavioral change health education on contraceptives at every entry point in the health system while addressing existing myths and rumors regarding contraceptive side effects is necessary to strengthen intention and utilization of contraceptives.
