Effectiveness of couple-based maternity education on husbands' involvement in maternity continuum of care service utilization in rural communities of Central Ethiopia: Protocol of cluster randomized controlled trial.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Despite the availability of high-impact maternal survival interventions along the continuum of care strategies, maternal mortality remains the major tragedy in resource poor settings. In low income countries interventions addressing role of husband and its effect on maternal health is not well studied, particularly in rural set up of Ethiopia. Therefore this study is designed to evaluate the effect of couple-based maternity education on husband involvement on maternity continuum of care. Methods: We will use a cluster randomized controlled trial of two parallel groups to evaluate the effectiveness of couple-based maternity education on improving husband involvement in maternity continuum of care. Sample size is calculated by using G-power 3.1 and a 1:1 allocation ratio will be used. Sixteen kebeles will be randomly assigned to 8 interventions and 8 control groups with 248 couples in each group. Women who are in the early stages of their second trimester with their husbands will participate in the study. Group maternity education and home visits will be the intervention packages. Data analysis will be performed with an intention-to-treat analysis approach and will be analyzed using SPSS version 25.0 software. An independent effect of the intervention on the outcome of the interest will be assessed using multivariable logistic regression with generalized estimating equation model. Conclusion: This trial result will generate conclusive evidence to policy makers about the effectiveness of couple-based maternity education to empower husband involvement in maternity continuum of care in rural Ethiopia. Trial registration: This trial was prospectively registered with the African Clinical Trials Registry on 04 December 2025 (PACTR202512868895726).
