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

aimThis study aims to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of intimate partner violence (IPV) among intensive care unit (ICU) nurses.

methodsICU nurses from a tertiary hospital in Yunnan, China, were recruited for this study. Participants completed a survey assessing demographics, experiences of IPV, dyadic coping, anxiety, depression, and social relationships. In line with the STROBE guidelines, descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data, and regression analysis was employed to explore influencing factors. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 25.0, and missing data were addressed with appropriate methods. Results are reported with 95% confidence intervals and p-values.

resultsOf the 232 ICU nurses approached, 191 completed the survey, with 58.1% reporting experiences of IPV. The most common types of IPV reported were negotiation (67.6%), psychological aggression (61.3%), physical assault (41.4%), injury (18.9%), and sexual coercion (8.1%). Significant factors associated with IPV included being an only child, partner's age, and partner's occupation (P < 0.05). Differences in social support and anxiety levels were also significantly associated with IPV (P < 0.05).

conclusionThis study highlights a high prevalence of IPV among ICU nurses, with negotiation, psychological aggression, and physical assault being the most common forms. Key factors such as being an only child, partner characteristics, and social support were found to significantly influence IPV experiences. These findings emphasize the need for targeted support and interventions to address IPV within this healthcare group. Further research is necessary to explore effective prevention strategies and the role of personal and social factors in IPV. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
