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: Fertility desire in people living with HIV is the desire of people to have children in the future despite a diagnosis of HIV. The desire to have children among reproductive-age women living with HIV has significant implications for the transmission of HIV to sexual partners and newborns in the future. There is no study conducted to determine the magnitude of the fertility desire among women of reproductive age living with HIV in East Wollega western Ethiopia. Therefore this study aimed to determine fertility desire and associated factors among women of reproductive age living with HIV receiving ART. Objectives: To assess fertility desire and associated factors among reproductive-aged women on antiretroviral treatment in East Wollega, West Ethiopia, 2023. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted in East Wollega from January 01/2023 to 30/2023. Data was collected from 419 study participants using interviewer-administered structured questionnaires by employing systematic random sampling techniques. Data entry and analysis were performed using Epi Data version 3.1 and SPSS version 23, respectively. Both bivariate and multivariate analyses were carried out using binary logistic regression. Statistical significance was established for variables with Results: Among the 419 respondents, 166 (39.62%) reported that they desired to have children in the future. Age between 18 and 24 years (AOR = 2.49, 95% CI; 1.16, 5.35), having partner Living with HIV: (AOR = 0.50, 95% CI; 0.25, 0.9), and being married (AOR = 2.69, 95% CI; 1.65, 4.39) were significantly associated with fertility desire. Conclusion: The proportion of women of reproductive age living with HIV who desired children was high in this cohort. Understanding the fertility desire among women living with HIV/AIDS has a significant role in reducing perinatal transmission of HIV. Hence, Health care workers should provide intensive counselling regarding the possibility of the mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
