Past intimate partner violence (IPV) predicts incident IPV during pregnancy and postpartum in pregnant women in Kisumu, Kenya.

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
objectiveTo investigate how identifying factors associated with peripartum and postpartum intimate partner violence (IPV) may facilitate prioritizing women for psychosocial support.
methodsPregnant women in Kenya were asked about IPV by their current partner at baseline (screening), during pregnancy and at 6 weeks and 6 months postpartum. IPV was defined as being physically hurt or forced to participate in sexual activities or being threatened or frightened by a partner.
resultsA total of 502 women (11.8% HIV-positive) enrolled during pregnancy and were successfully followed for 6 months postpartum, 430 (85.7%) reported never experiencing IPV, 32 (6.4%) reported IPV at least once in their lifetime but not in the past 6 months, and 31 (6.2%) reported IPV in the past 6 months but not in the past month. During pregnancy and postpartum, 61 (12.2%) reported incident IPV. Women who at baseline reported IPV in the past 6 months were at 2.7-fold higher odds of experiencing IPV peripartum and postpartum (odds ratio 2.77; 95% confidence interval 1.17-6.53; P = 0.020) compared with women who had never experienced IPV. This association remained significant in multivariable analysis.
conclusionScreening for recent IPV during antenatal care visits may be an effective means to identify women at highest risk of IPV and offer targeted prevention interventions.
