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 prevalence of Intimate partner violence (IPV) is higher in societies with higher acceptance of norms that support IPV. In Ethiopia, the proportion of women's acceptance of IPV was 69%, posing a central challenge in preventing IPV. The main objective of this study was to assess the individual and community-level factors associated with women's acceptance of IPV.
methodsTwo-level mixed-effects logistic regression was applied to the 2011 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey data. A total of 16,366 women nested in the 596 clusters were included in the analysis.
resultsThe acceptability of the IPV was estimated to be 69%. Among the individual-level factors: women's education with secondary and above (AOR = 0.38; 95% CI 0.29-0.52), partner's education secondary and above (AOR = 0.71; 95% CI 0.54-0.82), women aged 35-49 years (AOR = 0.67; 95% CI 0.54-0.82), fully empowered in household level decision making (AOR = 0.67; 95% CI0.54-0.81), literate (AOR = 0.76; 95% CI 0.62-0.92), and perceived existence of law that prevents IPV (AOR = 0.56; 95% CI 0.50-0.63) were significantly associated with women's acceptance of IPV. Similarly, rural residence (AOR = 1.93; 95% CI 1.53-2.43) and living in the State region (AOR = 2.37; 95% CI 1.81-3.10) were significantly associated with the women's acceptance of IPV among the community-level factors.
conclusionBoth individual and community-level factors were significant risk factors for the acceptability of intimate partner violence. Women's education, women's age, women's empowerment, partner education level, perceived existence of the law, and literacy were among individual factors. State region and residence were among community-level risk factors significantly associated women's acceptance of IPV.
