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

backgroundFemale psychiatric patients face challenges in reproductive health due to a lack of knowledge and awareness about reproductive rights and limited access to healthcare facilities. Our primary objectives were to explore the level of knowledge and awareness, independence, autonomy, and decision-making power concerning reproductive rights among women with schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder (BPAD). MATERIALS AND

methodsThe study employed a cross-sectional descriptive design and included 150 women with schizophrenia and BPAD using a purposive sampling technique in a tertiary care mental health setting in India and diagnosed according to ICD-10. The Clinical Global Impression (CGI, Improvement) and a predesigned questionnaire about fundamental rights, knowledge and awareness, liberty and freedom, and autonomy and decision-making of women with mental illness were used for data collection.

resultsThe majority of 120 (80.0%) of the respondents, irrespective of schizophrenia and BPAD, opined that females should be provided with proper education and awareness to help them become emotionally and physical easy. A total of 120 (80%) feel that girls should be educated in maintaining the highest level of hygiene during periods.

conclusionWomen with schizophrenia and BPAD should be offered comprehensive counseling and awareness related to reproductive health, including accessing reproductive health services.
