An ecological model of barriers to accessing care for pregnancy resulting from sexual violence: a rapid review.
Review in Reproductive health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
backgroundIt is estimated that 30% of women globally have experienced sexual violence (SV) and many of these cases result in sexual violence related pregnancies (SVRP). Social and structural inequities may impact access to reproductive healthcare for those who become pregnant as a result of SV.
methodsUsing Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological Systems Theory as an organizing framework, we conducted a rapid review to identify barriers to accessing reproductive healthcare after SV. We reviewed studies published between 2010 and 2024, synthesizing results from PubMed, PsychInfo, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC), Scopus, Global Health, and Embase. A total of 15 studies met the following inclusion criteria: (a) published in a peer-reviewed journal between January 2010 and February 2024, (b) written in English, and (c) evaluated barriers to reproductive healthcare services and resources for people who become pregnant as a result of SV. Study populations were located both within and outside the US.
resultsThe primary barriers identified included: lack of access to care, lack of provider training in trauma-informed care, fear of stigmatization, victim blaming, internalized shame, and retaliation.
conclusionsThis review can be used to understand specific barriers to reproductive healthcare for those who have experienced SV and the level or levels at which they are functioning. These findings can be used to tailor reproductive health policy, training, and community-based interventions aimed at mitigating and/or eliminating these barriers.
