1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeWomen are experiencing reproductive health abnormalities at younger ages, and the incidence of cervical cancer in women in their 20s and 30s is increasing. Various factors hinder visits to obstetrics and gynecology. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore how health knowledge, reproductive health-promoting behavior, and sexual communication influenced the degree of intention to visit obstetrics and gynecology in unmarried women.

methodsThe participants included 170 Korean unmarried women in their 20s and 30s. The data were collected via an online survey from December 11 to 22, 2023. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, the t-test, one-factor analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression.

resultsOn average, participants were 24.64±0.31 years of age. The intention to visit obstetrics and gynecology was high (11.46±3.51). Visiting obstetrics and gynecology was positively correlated with knowledge of reproductive health (r=.26, p=.001), reproductive health-promoting behavior (r=.43, p<.001), and sexual communication (r=.37, p<.001), all with statistical significance. Experience of visiting obstetrics and gynecology (β=0.40, p<.001), reproductive health-promoting behavior (β=.25, p<.001), sexual experience (β=0.22, p<.001), sexual communication (β=0.20, p=.001), and reproductive health knowledge (β=0.12, p=.033) explained 54.2% of variance in intention to visit obstetrics and gynecology in unmarried women.

conclusionThe findings of this study can be used to develop programs for unmarried women to improve reproductive health-promoting behavior, sexual communication, and reproductive health knowledge, and increase the intention to visit obstetrics and gynecology.
