Reproductive autonomy and contraceptive use among women in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Article in Contraception: X, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04803526 (Validation of Reproductive Autonomy and Contraceptive Autonomy Scales Among Egyptian Women in Assiut), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.

Abstract
objectiveReproductive autonomy (i.e., power to control and decide about contraceptive use, pregnancy and childbearing) could determine a woman's capacity to use contraception. Although the Reproductive Autonomy Scale was developed to quantitatively assess women's reproductive autonomy, it has not been validated in any population outside the United States. STUDY
designWe conducted a cross-sectional study of reproductive-age, sexually active women in Hanoi, Vietnam, who did not desire pregnancy. We administered a questionnaire containing the Reproductive Autonomy Scale and calculated composite scores of the measure's three subscales: (1) decision-making power, (2) freedom from coercion and (3) communication ability. To assess internal consistency, we calculated Cronbach's alpha score for each subscale. We used logistic regression to evaluate differences in subscale scores between women who did and did not engage in unprotected sex in the past month.
resultsAnalysis is based on 500 participants; of these women, 17% (
conclusionFindings highlight the need to develop and validate a new measure for reproductive autonomy for populations outside the United States or to adapt the existing measure for these contexts.
