Reproductive autonomy of visually impaired women: a cross-sectional study in Coimbatore and Tiruchirappalli districts, Tamil Nadu.
Article in BMC research notes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesReproductive autonomy is a fundamental human right, yet it remains a complex issue for visually impaired women. Therefore, this study aims to explore reproductive autonomy and examine the factors associated with reproductive autonomy among visually impaired women.
resultsA cross-sectional study was carried out in Tamil Nadu, India, involving 333 visually impaired women aged 18-44 (36.09 ± 5.97) from two districts. The study used a Reproductive Autonomy Scale (RAS) to assess reproductive autonomy, which comprises decision-making, freedom from coercion, and communication domains. The respondents had mean scores of 2.13 for decision-making, 2.05 for coercion, 3.74 for communication. The study found no significant differences in age, education, occupation, house ownership, community, and religion. Significant differences were found in the number of children across all domains, and the total RAS scores indicated that women with two or more children had higher reproductive autonomy. In spouse's disability, spouses with disabilities scored higher in decision-making domain compared to spouses without disabilities. The study concluded that the visually impaired women had a higher degree of reproductive autonomy. The results highlight that most women experience shared reproductive decision-making and supportive communication with their partners, with minimal instances of coercion.
