1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Reproductive coercion and abuse describes controlling behaviours to undermine another person's reproductive autonomy, predominantly affecting women and gender minorities with pregnancy capacity. Debate exists about how this form of gender-based violence should be measured and whether available measures developed over a decade ago adequately capture current conceptual understandings. To address this, our study aimed to develop a comprehensive measure of reproductive coercion and abuse for global population-level use. A modified e-Delphi technique was used to determine consensus on measurement items generated from pre-existing literature and formative qualitative research. Global experts (
