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
backgroundSexual and reproductive rights (SRRs) include the ability to make informed choices about family planning and reproductive health, free from discrimination, coercion, or violence. This study aimed to assess awareness and identify factors influencing perceptions of reproductive rights among women aged 15-35 years in Chandigarh.
methodsA concurrent mixed-method study was conducted among 116 women in Chandigarh using a pretested, semi-structured tool for quantitative analysis. A grounded theory approach was used to explore perceptions among 37 women through six focus group discussions (FGD), guided by a pretested FGD guide. Quantitative data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Trial Version 26.0, while thematic analysis of qualitative data was conducted manually. Data integration was performed at the interpretation stage.
resultsUrban residents had significantly higher awareness of SRRs and legal abortion rights [Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 5.2, 95% CI = 1.5-17.5; AOR = 3.5, 95% CI = 1.28-9.55]. Unmarried women were more aware of abortion rights (AOR = 4.68, 95% CI = 1.83-11.06). Higher education was associated with greater awareness of family planning (AOR = 16.06, 95% CI = 2.8-91.6). Individual factors included differing priorities, hesitancy to discuss, and fear of abortion and contraceptive side effects. Family-related factors involved decision-making roles (in-laws and husbands). Societal factors included low autonomy and religious beliefs. The stigma surrounding reproductive health and sex education hindered women from exercising their rights.
conclusionSignificant gaps exist in SRR awareness, particularly among married, less educated, and slum-dwelling women. Family control, religious beliefs, and stigma hinder reproductive autonomy.
