Moving Past a Legacy of Controlling Women: Key Frameworks to Center Women and Girls' Choice and Agency in Sexual and Reproductive Health Measurement.
Article in Studies in family planning, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
As the global community looks beyond the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals agenda, there is a critical opportunity to refine and elevate indicators focused on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and to shift nations away from fertility and contraceptive targets. This commentary presents four key frameworks-drawn from a panel at an International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) meeting focused on SRHR measurements-that offer distinct yet complementary lenses for understanding and measuring reproductive choice and agency. These include the EMERGE Empowerment Framework (focused on measurement and evaluation), Patient-Centered Care (focused on clinical practice), the Human Rights Framework (focused on policy), and Reproductive Justice (focused on social change). While not an exhaustive list, these frameworks reflect a diversity of disciplinary perspectives and emphasize the importance of grounding reproductive health indicators in concepts of choice and agency. The empowerment framework centers on individual decision-making and collective action, while person-centered and rights-based approaches evaluate how health systems and policies support or constrain that agency. Reproductive justice expands the lens further, highlighting how structural inequalities shape differential access and outcomes across race, class, and other social determinants of health. Together, these frameworks underscore the need for multilevel, intersectional indicators or reproductive agency-spanning individuals, health systems, communities, and policies-to effectively guide and evaluate the impact of reproductive health programs and policies at scale.
