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
backgroundPrimary care plays a key role in addressing domestic violence and abuse (DVA) globally. However, DVA remains underdiagnosed and inadequately addressed in primary care, necessitating a deeper understanding of patients' perspectives in the UK.
objectivesTo explore patients' perceptions of their awareness of DVA signs and their attitudes towards using the Woman Abuse Screening Tool (WAST)-short during routine primary care encounters.
methodsAn anonymous 29-item e-Survey, available in 18 languages and including information about DVA support services, was administered via the Qualtrics XM Platform
resultsData were collected from 6,967 NHS patients. The majority (78.0%) claimed awareness of the signs of DVA in adults and children, while about 22% were unaware or unsure of the signs of DVA. Nearly 85% reported insufficient public awareness about DVA. Around 70% recommended implementing the WAST-short screening tool during primary care encounters to raise awareness and support survivors. Over 50% viewed general practice as the optimal setting for identifying and referring survivors.
conclusionImproved public education on DVA is needed, as a significant proportion of patients remain unaware or unsure of its signs, with the majority deeming public knowledge insufficient. Patients' strong support for using standardised screening tools like the WAST-short reflects their trust in healthcare providers to conduct sensitive assessments. Integrating these tools into routine practice could enhance DVA interventions.
