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
backgroundWomen's sexual and reproductive rights are crucial for achieving gender equality and promoting women's rights. Husbands' knowledge and involvement are key in helping women practice their sexual and reproductive health rights. Across East Africa, there are limited studies about husbands' knowledge of their partner's reproductive rights and their associated factors. Hence, this study aimed to determine husbands' knowledge of their partners' reproductive health rights.
objectiveTo assess husbands' knowledge of their partners' reproductive rights and associated factors in Gurage Zone, Central Ethiopia, 2023.
designA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 632 husbands in Wolkite town from March to April, 2023.
methodsMulti-stage stratified sampling, along with systematic random sampling techniques, was employed to select study participants. A structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire was utilized to gather the data, and then SPSS version 26 was employed for analysis. Bivariate and multivariable analyses were performed to identify variables associated with the husband's knowledge of his partner's reproductive rights using the binary logistic regression model. Statistical significance was declared at a
resultsThe overall good knowledge of partners' reproductive health rights was found to be 47.8% (95% confidence interval (CI): 43.8, 51.8). Age of the husbands 25-35 years (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 2.7; 95% CI: 1.10, 6.6), below primary educational status (AOR: 2.4; 95% CI: 1.3, 4.3), primary educational status (AOR: 5.98; 95% CI: 3.10, 11.4), secondary educational status (AOR: 2.1; 95% CI: 1.01, 4.3), above secondary education status (AOR: 8.0; 95% CI: 4.3, 15.2), discussion with a partner (AOR: 3.2; 95% CI: 2.0, 5.2), and vehicle as a means of transport (AOR: 3.3; 95% CI: 2.2, 4.9) were statistically significant for good husbands' knowledge of partners reproductive health rights.
conclusionThese findings indicate that more than half (52.2%) of the study participants had a weak understanding of their partners' reproductive rights. So, counseling and education should be offered to husbands to enhance their knowledge of reproductive rights.
