Intimate partner violence screening in the dental setting: Results of a nationally representative survey.
Article in Journal of the American Dental Association (1939), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
backgroundThe dental setting is a potential venue for identifying patients experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). The study objective was to assess dentists' current practices and attitudes about IPV screening.
methodsA nationally representative survey of US general dentists assessed dentists' use of health history forms that queried about IPV and their acceptance of IPV screening as part of their professional roles. Parsimonious Poisson regression models were used in multivariable analysis to estimate risk ratios for the 2 dependent variables.
resultsAlmost all dentists did not include a question to screen for IPV on their patient history forms. More than one-half of dentists also did not know of a referral place for patients experiencing IPV and did not believe that IPV screening should be part of their professional roles.
conclusionsUptake of IPV screening and favorable attitudes toward screening were low among dentists studied. However, prior IPV training and clinical knowledge plus awareness of IPV referral mechanisms were positively associated with greater screening uptake and attitudes. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The inclusion of brief, focused IPV interventions in dental education and the establishment of collaborations between dentists and IPV agencies for referral mechanisms, in conjunction with an overall shift in dentists' attitudes about their professional responsibilities, may facilitate IPV screening uptake in the dental setting.
