The effect of a behavioural intervention package on quality of life of pregnant women experiencing domestic violence: a randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in Trials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundDomestic violence during pregnancy is especially concerning due to its significant detrimental impact on a woman's health and that of her unborn child. The study aims to evaluate the effects of a behavioural intervention package (BIP) delivered during pregnancy on the quality of life (QOL), domestic violence (DV), and reproductive and child health (RCH) of women experiencing DV.
methodsA randomised controlled trial was conducted on 211 pregnant women recruited between 18 and 20 weeks of pregnancy and randomly assigned to one of two groups: intervention (n = 105) or control (n = 106). The intervention group received BIP and standard care, while the control group received only standard care for 28 weeks. Study tools included socio-demographic variables, a short-form health survey, an abuse assessment screening tool, and an RCH checklist. The tools were completed once before the intervention and again at 6 weeks postnatal. The tools and their subscales were compared pre- and post-intervention using a paired t-test, or Wilcoxon signed test as appropriate to estimate the effect size at baseline and post-intervention.
resultsPost-intervention, the QOL scores were found to be significant, with a positive effect favouring the intervention as compared to the control group. The BIP intervention, which was found to be significantly effective (P ≤ 0.001) in reducing DV for pregnant women experiencing DV, was higher in the intervention group than in the control group.
conclusionThe BIP may be an appropriate method for treating pregnant women experiencing DV from low socioeconomic strata who attend public hospitals in India to improve their QOL. The approach may offer an intervention that healthcare institutions or other organizations in contact with women at risk of violence can implement.
