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: The non-uptake of contraception by sexually active men is a significant health concern. However, there is a paucity of data concerning contraception use among sexually active men in Ghana. This study examined contributing factors to nonuptake of contraception among sexually active men in Asokore Mampong Municipality, Ghana. Methodology: 327 sexually active men were recruited for the study using a simple random sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was used to conduct a face-to-face interview and gather study data. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were performed using IBM SPSS v27. At a 95% confidence level and a p-value of less than 0.05, an association was indicated between the dependent and independent variables, suggesting a significant relationship. Results: Participants' non-uptake of contraception was 44.6%. Predictors such as employment ( Conclusion: Sexually active men in the municipality do not take contraceptives. This was influenced by employment status, nuclear family, desire to have children, multiple sexual partners, side effects of contraception, difficulty accessing contraception and lack of knowledge about contraception. Intensifying education on male contraception would increase contraception uptake. Increasing education about contraception among men would increase contraception uptake.
