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

This study explores intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors' experiences seeking healthcare. Interviews reveal that survivors are often treated by healthcare professionals that operate under the biomedical model, which encourages providers to objectively diagnose and treat IPV-related symptoms. Providers utilize the clinical gaze to isolate specific injuries and symptoms of violence without identifying how violence affects overall health and well-being. In doing so, providers may inadvertently establish women's bodies as malfunctioning or defective, leaving survivors to feel unsupported, stigmatized, and disempowered. This paper sheds light on how IPV survivors can become disenfranchised from the healthcare system.
