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

The term reproductive violence (RV) unifies forms of gender-based violence that compromise reproductive autonomy. This study developed a multilevel quantitative measurement framework for RV comprised of indicators at the interpersonal, community, institutional, and law and policy levels. We conducted a systematized literature review, extracting and scoring existing indicators based on prior testing in a low- and middle-income country setting, psychometric data, feasibility, and face validity. The literature review identified 84 peer-reviewed studies, inclusive of 448 indicators that were extracted and scored. Ultimately, 112 indicators were included in the RV measurement framework. Indicators were organized by level of the social-ecological model and across three categories: (1) pregnancy-promoting RV, (2) pregnancy-preventing RV, and (3) legal and social liabilities of pregnancy and parenthood. This study provides the first multilevel measurement framework for RV. Further research is needed to develop indicators for understudied RV constructs and validate the framework. The resulting framework will be used at the subnational, national, and regional levels to understand barriers to reproductive autonomy.
