Why would it have an effect on ovulation? People are saying that the charcoal prevents the body from absorbing the pill. It's also why it's used in certain cases of poisoning.

Yes, and the pill stops ovulation. So if there's no uptake of the pill, a woman will most likely ovulate. Ovulation is what was measured in the study.
