Intimate partner violence and cognitive functioning - toward quantifying dementia risk.

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
introductionIntimate partner violence (IPV) victimization is highly common among women and associated with adverse health consequences that may be linked to dementia risk.
methodsNurses' Health Study II participants (N = 14,771) reported adult (age ≥ 18) emotional, physical, and sexual IPV in 2001/2008 and completed the Cogstate Brief Battery 2014-2019 (4/6 maximum assessments). Any versus no IPV and IPV subtypes were used to predict cognition in confounder-adjusted generalized estimating equation models weighted to account for attrition.
resultsMean age at baseline was 61.0 years (standard deviation = 4.6); 46.5% reported any IPV (42.3% emotional, 22.6% physical, and 11.3% sexual). IPV victimization was associated with 0.029 SD unit (95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.068, 0.009) lower global cognitive score but not rate of cognitive change. Among IPV types, emotional IPV had the strongest association (β = -0.048; 95% CI: -0.075, -0.020) with cognitive scores. DISCUSSION: Gendered social experiences such as IPV may influence dementia risk. Further assessment of IPV in aging cohorts is needed. HIGHLIGHTS: IPV predicted lower average cognitive score over follow-up. Emotional abuse had the largest associations with cognitive score among subtypes. We found no differences in rate of cognitive score change by violence exposure. Even modest impacts of violence would translate to large population effects. Gendered experiences warrant additional research in understanding dementia risk.
