Violence against infertile women in an Iranian setting.
Article in BMC women's health, 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
backgroundInfertility as a distressing condition, is associated with numerous psychological and social consequences for couples. In addition, there is evidence to suggest that infertility may contribute to the occurrence of violence against women. The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence and factors associated with violence against Iranian women with infertility.
methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out in 2020, involving 310 infertile women who sought treatment at an infertility clinic in a referral women's hospital in Tehran. The eligible participants were selected using the consecutive sampling method. The Infertile Women's Exposure to Violence Determination Scale (IWEVDS) was used to collect data on violence. Data were analyzed using descriptive (Mean, frequency) and inferential statistics (Independent sample t-test, Chi-square, regression logistic) through the SPSS version 25.
resultsThe average score on the IWEVDS was found to be 43.89 ± 18.23, indicating a moderate level of violence. Out of the 310 participating infertile women, 84.2% reported experiencing violence. Among abused women, 67% experienced domestic violence, 76.2% encountered social pressure, 85.4% faced punishment, 88.9% were exposed to traditional practice, and 57.5% experienced exclusion. The main risk factors associated with violence were a low number of children, low economic status, and an increased duration of infertility.
conclusionsThis study's findings underline a high rate of violence experienced by infertile women. Therefore, it is crucial to screen women with infertility for violence and provide them with adequate support.
