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

The need for effective training to support survivors of intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV) remains underexplored. This study aimed to identify IPSV-related training needs among shelter workers. A comprehensive qualitative analysis was conducted with 179 shelter advocates through focus groups and a World Café. The analysis revealed four overarching needs: (a) enhancing ease; (b) clarifying the scope and limitations of interventions; (c) developing skills to respond effectively; and (d) guiding survivors through medico-legal and legal procedures. These findings provide key recommendations for improving the quality of support, enhancing survivors' recognition of IPSV, and facilitating their access to justice and recovery.
