Using Artificial Intelligence to Detect Risk of Family Violence: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDespite the implementation of prevention strategies, family violence continues to be a prevalent issue worldwide. Current strategies to reduce family violence have demonstrated mixed success and innovative approaches are needed urgently to prevent the occurrence of family violence. Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into prevention strategies is gaining research attention, particularly the use of textual or voice signal data to detect individuals at risk of perpetrating family violence. However, no review to date has collated extant research regarding how accurate AI is at identifying individuals who are at risk of perpetrating family violence.
objectiveThe primary aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to assess the accuracy of AI models in differentiating between individuals at risk of engaging in family violence versus those who are not using textual or voice signal data.
methodsThe following databases will be searched from conception to the search date: IEEE Xplore, PubMed, PsycINFO, EBSCOhost (Psychology and Behavioral Sciences collection), and Computers and Applied Sciences Complete. ProQuest Dissertations and Theses A&I will also be used to search the grey literature. Studies will be included if they report on human adults and use machine learning to differentiate between low and high risk of family violence perpetration. Studies may use voice signal data or linguistic (textual) data and must report levels of accuracy in determining risk. In the data screening and full-text review and quality analysis phases, 2 researchers will review the search results and discrepancies and decisions will be resolved through masked review of a third researcher. Results will be reported in a narrative synthesis. In addition, a random effects meta-analysis will be conducted using the area under the receiver operating curve reported in the included studies, assuming sufficient eligible studies are identified. Methodological quality of included studies will be assessed using the risk of bias tool in nonrandomized studies of interventions.
resultsAs of October 2024, the search has not commenced. The review will document the state of the research concerning the accuracy of AI models in detecting the risk of family violence perpetration using textual or voice signal data. Results will be presented in the form of a narrative synthesis. Results of the meta-analysis will be summarized in tabular form and using a forest plot.
conclusionsThe findings from this study will clarify the state of the literature on the accuracy of machine learning models to identify individuals who are at high risk of perpetuating family violence. Findings may be used to inform the development of AI and machine learning models that can be used to support possible prevention strategies.
