Exploring women's sexual and reproductive health needs in Zabol's suburbs, Iran: a qualitative study.
Article in Reproductive health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSuburban populations in developing countries are affected by poor environmental conditions affecting their ongoing health. Given the low reproductive health indicators of women residing in the suburbs of eastern Iran, planning to improve their health by assessing the needs of the target group through qualitative research is essential. The present study seeks to elucidate the views of women living in the suburbs of Zabol, Iran, regarding sexual and reproductive health needs.
methodsThis qualitative study was conducted in healthcare centers in the suburbs of Zabol in 2023. The sample comprised 22 women, including 16 women of reproductive age (age 15-49 years) living in the suburbs and six key informants (service providers and people who were in close contact with these women). The sample was selected purposively with maximum variation. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth, individual interviews, which continued until data saturation was reached. The data were then analyzed using conventional content analysis.
resultsThe data analysis yielded seven categories (gender-based violence, psychological problems, women's lack of empowerment, barriers to equity in sexual and reproductive health, support seeking, sexual issues, and pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care needs) and 24 subcategories. The results revealed that suburban women did not have adequate information or knowledge about their sexual and reproductive health or the available services, and most of them suggested that they required training.
conclusionWomen living in the suburbs of Zabol were faced with challenges in their sexual and reproductive health and well-being. It is crucial to provide these women with sexual and reproductive health education and services that are accessible and suitable to their conditions by targeted interventions aiming to improve their health and well-being. The findings of the current study can serve as a basis for future health policymaking, planning, and research by providing evidence and strengthening the body of knowledge about this domain of health.
