Black and Minoritized Women's Experiences of Specialist Domestic Violence Services in the United Kingdom (UK): A Scoping Review.

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
This scoping review maps the existing available literature on Black and minoritized women's experiences with specialist Domestic Violence and Abuse (DVA) services in the UK to summarize current understanding and identify knowledge gaps. A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases and gray literature sources. All articles had to include Black and minoritized women's experiences of DVA services. In total, 29 UK-based studies published between 2000 and 2024 were identified. Data were synthesized to identify key themes and gaps. Thematic analysis of the findings revealed three main themes: additional service needs, barriers to accessing support, and the pivotal role of "by and for" services. Our review concludes that "by and for" services-provided by and for minoritized women-which adopt an intersectional approach are crucial in addressing the unique needs of Black and minoritized "survivor-victims", particularly in terms of language support, practical assistance, and community-related support. There is a need for more peer-reviewed literature to recognize the role of "by and for" services, using diverse methodologies to support Black and minoritized communities better.
