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
Introduction: Common mental disorders (CMDs) and suicidality are two of the most common psychological and mental health issues associated with acute and chronic sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the magnitude of symptoms of CMDs, and suicidality among females experienced SGBV in Ethiopia. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 407 female survivors of SGBV in the One Stop Centers of the Amhara region. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25. The odds ratio at a p-value of 0.05 was used to determine the strength of the association of the independent variables with CMDs and suicidality. Results: A total of 407 women participated in the study. Suicidality was reported by a quarter of the survivors (24.1%), while CMDs were reported by nearly two-thirds (61.7%). Being widowed (AOR = 3.0, 95% CI = 3.0 [1.22, 7.66]), having a family history of mental illnesses (AOR = 7.1, 95% CI = 7.1 [4.07, 12.39)], being low-income (AOR = 2.8, 95% CI = 2.8 [1.64, 5.06]), and current drug use (AOR = 2.9, 95% CI = 2.9 [1.63, 5.16]) were all linked with CMDs. Having a history of abortion (AOR = 4.1, 95% CI = 4.1 [1.9, 8.5]), CMDs (AOR = 4.6, 95% CI = 4.6 [2.0, 10.74]), and history of suicide (AOR = 3.41, 95% CI = 3.41 [1.22, 9.55]) were some of the characteristics that were substantially linked with suicidality. Conclusion: Females with SGBV had a high prevalence of CMDs and suicidality and calls for comprehensive remedies.
