Survival and risk of death among women with reports of intimate partner violence during pregnancy: a national cohort study in Brazil.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study aimed to analyze the factors associated with the risk of death and survival probability among women who experienced intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study used national data from Brazil. Survival probability was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, while the Cox proportional hazards model was applied to investigate risk factors associated with death.
resultsSignificant risk factors identified included older age (HR = 1.03 [1.01-1.07]), disability or disorder (HR = 2.40 [1.22-4.74]), aggression involving firearms (HR = 13.15 [2.64-65.47]) or sharp objects (HR = 10.59 [2.19-51.12]), and having more than one report of violence (HR = 1.78 [1.13-2.82]). Being in the second trimester of pregnancy was associated with a lower risk of death compared to the first trimester (HR = 0.49 [0.30-0.81]). Femicide was the leading cause of death, accounting 45.7% of all deaths.
conclusionIPV during pregnancy significantly increases the risk of death, emphasizing the importance of systematic screening during prenatal care. Despite being a major cause of death, femicide remains underreported in maternal mortality statistics. The findings underscore the urgency of improving health surveillance systems to ensure better detection, recording, and prevention of fatal outcomes among women exposed to IPV.
