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) is a prevalent public health problem and a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality among women and girls. IPV significantly interferes with individual's quality of life (QoL). This study examined and compared the relationship between experience of IPV and QoL of young women in urban slums and non-slums communities of Ibadan, Nigeria.
methodsThe study was conducted in the five Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Ibadan municipal, Oyo State, and employed a cross-sectional design. The study population were 1,050 young women aged between 18 and 24 years, who had ever been or currently was in a relationship. Data were collected using semi-structured and close-ended 97-items questionnaire, adapted from standardized instruments of the WHO VAW study (WHO, 2013) and WHOQOL BREF. Data were analysed using STATA 16. hierarchical multiple regression model was used to describe relationship between the outcome and independent variables.
resultsThe age (21.0 ± 2.1 years) of respondents was the same in both communities. Prevalence of physical (31.4%, 13.4%), psychological (58.6%, 31.5%) and sexual IPV (37.1%, 18.3%) were (p < 0.05) higher in the slums than non-slums, respectively. Overall QoL score was lower among IPV victims than non-victims in both non-slum (67.3 ± 23.4; 72.2 ± 19.8) and slum communities (67.3 ± 23.1 versus 72.4 ± 21.1). Physical and psychological QoL scores were lower (p < 0.05) among IPV victims in both settings. The predictors of overall QoL were experience of any IPV, perceived social support, partner's age, while experience of sexual IPV and partner's age were predictors of psychological QoL. Lastly, the predictors of physical QoL were experience at sexual debut and perceived social support.
conclusionExperience of IPV was common in both communities, with a consequential reduction in the QoL of young women. Measures to improve the QoL of young women need to target reduction of IPV and available social support in both settings.
