Spatial distributions and determinants of intimate partner violence among married women in Ethiopia across administrative zones.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIntimate partner violence (IPV) against women is highly prevalent in the world, especially in low-middle-income countries including Ethiopia. Studies so far assessing risk factors for IPV often use the classical model without geographical location information and spatial effects. This study aimed to estimate the overall prevalence and associated risk factors of intimate partner violence among Ethiopian administrative zones.
methodThe 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) data were used. The primary outcome of the study was the experience of different types of IPV: physical, emotional, and sexual by ever-married women aged 15-49 years. We adopted a generalized multilevel mixed model with IPV as an outcome variable and zones as random effects.
resultsThe prevalence of physical, emotional, and sexual violence in Ethiopia are respectively 20.38%, 22.31%, and 7.58%. The result indicated that 1,423 (30.15%) of respondents had experienced at least one of the three types of IPV. Women who had older age had more children, had lower decision-making power, and had a husband who was a drinker and had controlling behavior were more likely to experience any forms of IPV. Significant zone-wise spatial variations of IPV were also observed.
conclusionsThe distribution of IPV in married women varies among Ethiopian administrative zones. Several factors were associated with IPV, therefore, interventions targeting the hotspot areas and specific determinant factors should be implemented by the concerned bodies to reduce IPV among married women in the population.
