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 aims to determine the prevalence and risk factors of violent events leading to Acquired brain injury (ABI). Research was conducted through the SPAVO helpline which provides anonymous and immediate support and connect individuals with necessary resources and guidance. Data were collected using four specific questions from the BR.A.I.N. Screening Questionnaire and questions were asked regarding violence characteristics. Out of 729 females, 61% encountered physical violence, with 32% facing a heightened risk of ABI. These findings highlight the significant risk of ABI among female survivors of intimate partner violence and assist policymakers, frontline professionals regarding the needs of this population.
