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
Introduction: Barrero, Dominican Republic is a globally underrepresented area in research as no prior studies have been completed regarding women's health in this community. One important area of women's health is prenatal care as education is delivered to women that can impact the rest of their lives. The goal of this research project was to describe postpartum family planning information received during prenatal care for women in Barrero, Dominican Republic and create a database for this community regarding the prenatal care experience. Methods: A cross-sectional study consisting of a 28-question subset was administered in Barrero, a semi-rural, semi-urban community. 121 mothers, aged 18-50, with children 0-12 years old living in Barrero were surveyed in February 2025. Descriptive rates were reported as frequency (%). Results: Of the 216 pregnancies reported by 121 surveyed mothers, a postpartum family planning discussion occurred for 82% of women during prenatal care. Notably, of 92 women using contraception at the time of survey administration, 43.5% utilized tubal ligation as their primary method to avoid pregnancy. Other methods reported included oral contraception (21.7%), arm implant (17.4%), injections (15.2%), and only 1.1% reported using condoms. Conclusion: Comprehensive knowledge regarding contraception options is essential for women to make a personalized family planning decision. Future research projects should investigate if causal relationship exists between postpartum family planning education discussions and future contraception utilization. These projects could then shape provider education regarding postpartum family planning conversations.
