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

backgroundResearch indicates that traumatic events, such as interpersonal violence, can significantly affect how individuals perceive facial characteristics and assess trust. This study aims to explore trustworthiness and emotional perception in women experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV).

methodsTwenty-four women who have experienced IPV and twenty-four control participants completed an online task. They rated the trustworthiness of male and female faces, chose the more trustworthy face in a pairwise task, and identified emotions displayed by faces.

resultsThe results revealed that survivors of IPV showed lower accuracy in trustworthiness judgments, particularly for male faces, and in recognizing fear in male faces, compared to the control group.

conclusionsThese preliminary findings, constrained by the limited sample size, are discussed in the context of the Pathological Affective Dependence theory and a perceptual model of social face perception, shedding light on the complex interplay between trauma, social perception, and emotional processing.
