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
Background: Female reproductive health vulnerabilities are influenced by socio-demographic factors and domestic power imbalances. In Indonesia, investigating how relational empowerment affects sexual health outcomes remains a critical public health necessity. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association between sexual autonomy, socio-demographic determinants, and self-reported sexually transmitted infection (STI) symptoms among coupled women in Indonesia. Methods: A secondary analysis was conducted using nationally representative data from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). The analytical sample comprised 28,264 currently married or cohabiting coupled women. A composite index for sexual autonomy was constructed based on standardized sexual negotiation indicators. Survey-weighted binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to calculate adjusted odds ratios ( Results: The multivariate analysis demonstrated a significant association between sexual autonomy and self-reported STIs. Women with high sexual autonomy had 1.51 times higher odds of reporting STI symptoms than those with low sexual autonomy ( Conclusion: The association between high individual sexual autonomy and elevated STI symptom reporting highlights a health disclosure mechanism rather than biological disease incidence. Among coupled Indonesian women, reproductive health outcomes are deeply shaped by gender power relations. Public health and community nursing interventions should therefore prioritize addressing structural domestic coercion, normalizing the rejection of violence, and creating safe environments that support health transparency.
