Sexual abuse among Mozambican women at risk for HIV/AIDS infection: The temporal stability of self-report.

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
Many researchers have expressed concern regarding the reliability and validity of retrospective self-reports of sexual abuse. This study aimed to quantify the frequency of self-reported sexual abuse among vulnerable Mozambican women and evaluate the temporal stability of self-report across assessments. Participants (N = 173) were patients at the gynecology outpatient clinic of a public central hospital in Mozambique who were referred for recruitment by gynecologists and completed measures of sexual abuse, assessed using six items from the National Women's Study survey. Women reported a frequency of sexual abuse ranging from 9.2% (third assessment) to 10.4% (initial assessment). Concerning the temporal stability of self-reports, the percentage of agreement was above 90% for all sexual abuse items, and general sexual victimization achieved almost perfect kappa values, κs = .93-1.00. This work has implications for the promotion of sexual health and the prevention of violence.
