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.

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 study was conducted to determine the attitudes of women who were married at an early age in their region towards such marriages and their experiences related to pregnancies.
methodsThe data for the study were collected through the implementation of a semi-structured interview form, and the "deductive content analysis technique" was used to analyze the data. The study was conducted using a phenomenological design from qualitative research methods.
resultsFour main themes were obtained in the study. Theme 1 The process leading to early marriages: Women are married off with the decision of the family and the support of their relatives, and mostly without having met each other. Theme 2 The course of marriage: The first day of marriage is considered frightening, and the responsibilities of the house are burdened on a girl child. Theme 3 Pregnancies: Women report health problems due to the fact that they are still children themselves, and their bodies are not suitable for a pregnancy. Theme 4: Childcare: Women experience problems related to their inexperience and financial problems in caring for children, and at the same time, they do not want their children's future to be like theirs. Theme 5: Cultural process leading to early marriages: Women state that early marriage is a traditional and cultural problem and that this situation is considered normal and should be.
conclusionThe factors that influence the decision to enter into early marriage include family decisions and cultural norms. In addition to the challenges associated with marriage, women express a desire for their children to have access to more advantageous educational opportunities.
