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
Introduction: Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) stigma remains a major barrier to young women's access to reproductive health information and services, particularly in settings where discussions of sexuality and reproductive rights are constrained by social and cultural norms. Evidence on the prevalence and determinants of SRH stigma among young women in Bangladesh remains limited. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of SRH stigma and identify factors associated with SRH stigma among women aged 19-25 years with male partners in Bangladesh. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study and collected data through both online and offline methods. This study includes a total of 414 women (19-25 years) who reported having a male partner. We conducted univariate and bivariate analyses to explore the association between the background factors and SRH stigma. We fitted a binary logistic regression to estimate adjusted associations. Results: Among 414 participants, the overall prevalence of SRH stigma was 50.97%; almost one in two women (19-25 years) with male partners were stigmatised. Results from multivariable logistic regression showed that SRH stigma was significantly associated with several factors, for example, level of education (adjusted OR (AOR): 2.00; 95% CI 1.14 to 3.51), sexual interaction with male partners (AOR: 0.29; 95% CI 0.11 to 0.77) and history of abortion (AOR: 0.38; 95% CI 0.19 to 0.77). Conclusions: More research is necessary to comprehend the factors that lead to the stigma surrounding SRH among young Bangladeshi women. These findings may help inform interventions and policies aimed at reducing SRH stigma and improving young women's access to reproductive health information and services.
