1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Nonprofit community-based workers (CWs) provide vital support to women survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV), and they are repeatedly exposed to secondary trauma in their everyday work lives which may influence health and wellness. Guided by the salutogenesis model, this qualitative study explored 19 CWs' work experiences in relation to health and wellness in the Niagara Region, Canada. Five themes were generated using thematic analysis: (a) mental processing and alternations; (b) unmanageable structural challenges; (c) women empowering women; (d) unique ways of coping; and (e) recommendations for system improvements. Implications for intersectoral collaboration, health promotion, and chronic disease prevention are discussed to inform the development of tailored support strategies for CWs.
