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

objectivesTo examine the role of abuse severity in predicting women's trajectories in mental and physical health and psychological quality of life during the 18 months following abuse identification in a health care setting.

methodsThe present analysis used growth curve modeling in a sample of 411 women positive for abuse on the Composite Abuse Scale.

resultsA high proportion of women experienced severe combined abuse (SCA; 55 % at baseline and 29 % at 18 months). On average, there was an improvement in depressive symptoms and psychological quality of life over time. Controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, women scoring positive versus negative for SCA experienced increased depressive symptoms and decreased quality of life; however, exposure to severe abuse did not affect the rate of change over time in these outcomes. Severe abuse was not associated with physical health.

conclusionsThere is an important association between abuse severity and women's health and well-being over time. Understanding the role of different abuse experiences, risk and protective factors, and trajectories can assist in more accurate identification and appropriate care provision for women exposed to IPV.
