Motherhood increases support for family planning among Kenyan adolescents.
Article in Sexual & reproductive healthcare : official journal of the Swedish Association of Midwives, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
objectiveAdolescent fertility rates are high in Kenya, and increase the risks of unintended repeat pregnancies and maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. Our objective was to examine knowledge, practices, and influences surrounding contraceptive access and use among Kenyan postpartum adolescents. STUDY
designWe conducted a mixed methods study (surveys and focus group discussions) with postpartum adolescents and family planning (FP) providers at two maternal and child health clinics in Kenya.
main outcome measuresFour focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with postpartum adolescents (stratified by age and site), and two FGDs were conducted with FP providers (stratified by site). Transcripts were analyzed for prevalent themes. The participants also completed individual surveys that were analyzed for contraceptive knowledge.
resultsAdolescent contraceptive decision-making and use were shaped by social norms of adolescent sexual behaviour. Lack of FP knowledge, community misinformation, and insufficient counselling and time with providers all contributed to adolescent concerns about FP. However, as adolescents transitioned to motherhood, they felt more encouraged to use FP and had increased awareness of FP benefits.
conclusionBoth postpartum adolescents and providers felt delivery of FP services could be improved if providers had better training and counselling tools.
