Mental health impacts of reproductive coercion among women in Côte d'Ivoire.
Article in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo assess the independent associations of partner-perpetrated reproductive coercion, intimate partner violence (IPV), in-law reproductive coercion, and in-law abuse with recent probable post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and to test their relationship with PTSD symptoms when controlling for the other types of abuse among partnered women in rural Côte d'Ivoire.
methodsCross-sectional analyses were conducted using logistic generalized estimating equations, which accounted for village-level clustering. Data were drawn from baseline data from a randomized controlled trial among 24 villages in rural Côte d'Ivoire (n=953 partnered women). Three adjusted models were used to test associations of reproductive coercion and abuse with probable PTSD.
resultsPartner-perpetrated reproductive coercion was experienced by 176 (18.5%) women. In model 3, which accounted for the co-occurrence of abuses, partner-perpetrated reproductive coercion (odds ratio [OR] 2.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4-3.9) and partner-perpetrated IPV (OR 1.7; 95% CI, 1.1-2.7) were the most significant predictors of past-week probable PTSD (P<0.05).
conclusionReproductive coercion may be a significant contributor to poor mental health. The mental health impacts of reproductive coercion and IPV should be considered within psychosocial programming for rural Ivorian communities to address the full range of traumatic experiences that may have been experienced by women.
