Knowledge and involvement of husbands in the reproductive rights of women in Harar, eastern Ethiopia.
Article in SAGE open medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveReproductive rights violations are a serious public health concern worldwide, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, where more than 38.83% of victims live. Understanding the status of husbands' knowledge and involvement helps to establish important programs and interventions. However, there are limited data related to husbands' roles in women's reproductive rights in the study setting. Therefore, this study aimed to assess husbands' knowledge and involvement in women's reproductive rights and their associated factors in Harar, eastern Ethiopia.
methodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 611 husbands in March 2020. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select the study participants. Data were collected using a structured and pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire. Data were entered using EpiData 3.1 and analyzed with SPSS Version 22. A multivariable logistic regression model was applied to examine the factors associated with the outcome variable using an adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval, and a
resultsThe levels of husbands' knowledge and involvement were 48.3% and 40.1%, respectively. Social media utilization (adjusted odds ratio = 4.97, 95% confidence interval = 2.79-8.85), partners' discussion (adjusted odds ratio = 2.33, 95% confidence interval = 1.60-3.39), and type of facility: hospital (adjusted odds ratio = 3.21, 95% confidence interval = 1.23-8.36) and health post (adjusted odds ratio = 2.86, 95% confidence interval = 1.20-6.94) were factors associated with knowledge of husbands. Likewise, the experience of using reproductive services (adjusted odds ratio = 2.15, 95% confidence interval = 1.52-3.03), partner discussion (adjusted odds ratio = 1.95, 95% confidence interval = 1.35-2.82), social media utilization (adjusted odds ratio = 1.74, 95% confidence interval = 1.05-2.89), and age 40-49 years (adjusted odds ratio = 1.99, 95% confidence interval = 1.19-3.32) were factors associated with husbands' involvement.
conclusionLess than half of the husbands were knowledgeable and involved in executing partners' reproductive rights. Promoting and creating effective media utilization is important for creating awareness of reproductive rights. Moreover, working on reproductive health service utilization, women empowerment, and making open discussions between partners are crucial to increase the knowledge and involvement of husbands.
