Reproductive Health Literacy and Knowledge Among Female Refugees: A Scoping Review of Measurement Methodologies and Effect on Health Behavior.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Reproductive health literacy (RHL) is essential to women's ability to make informed reproductive health (RH) decisions and is a key determinant of RH outcomes. Resettled refugee women often experience poorer RH outcomes, yet there is limited research on their RHL and its influence on RH decision-making. This scoping review aims to (1) to evaluate existing methods for measuring RHL among resettled refugee women and (2) to characterize the relationship between RHL, RH decision-making, behavior, and outcomes among refugee women residing in high-income countries. A search of peer-reviewed literature published in English found limited direct measurement of RHL. Measurement methods were primarily qualitative or based on unvalidated survey instruments, limiting comparability and generalizability. The current methodologies do not adequately capture RH knowledge or RHL proficiency. A range of additional factors were found to influence RH decision-making and behavior, supporting the need for a means to accurately measure RHL. Further quantitative research is needed to clarify the extent to which RHL and knowledge influence RH behavior and outcomes. The development of a culturally relevant, validated RHL instrument that integrates knowledge and contextual influences would support healthcare providers and public health agents in serving and designing effective interventions for refugee women post-resettlement.
