"Psychometric validation of the Persian pregnancy coercion scale and its implications for reproductive autonomy in Iran".
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
objectivePregnancy coercion is a public health issue that affects the mental, sexual, and reproductive health of women and one of the significant factors unintended pregnancies globally, remains understudied in Iran due to the lack of culturally validated assessment tools. This study aimed to psychometrically validate the Persian version of the Pregnancy Coercion Scale (PCS) to address this gap and enhance reproductive health equity in Persian-speaking populations.
resultsThe Persian PCS demonstrated strong internal consistency (α = 0.85). EFA revealed a two-factor structure—pregnancy coercion and condom manipulation—explaining 57.53% of the variance and these two factors are aligned with the original scale. Content validity indices were robust (CVI: 0.80–1.00; CVR: 0.62–1.00), with no floor/ceiling effects. Significant associations were observed between coercion and lower education, unemployment, and having 1–3 children (p < 0.05), though no links emerged with age or income.
