Unraveling the link: exploring violence in connection to socioeconomic status, demographic factors, and substance use in adolescents and young adults.
Article in BMC psychology, 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
backgroundThere is a lack of reliable information regarding the factors associated with violence in underdeveloped countries. This study examines the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES), demographic factors, substance use, and violence in the Fasa Youth Cohort (FYC), focusing on how these risk factors affect both sexes.
methodsUsing baseline data from 3013 participants aged 15-34 in the FYC, we assessed violence and its potential predictors via validated questionnaires. Statistical analyses included chi-square tests, independent t-tests, and multivariate logistic regression to identify associations. Effect sizes were reported as Cramer's V for chi-square tests and Cohen's d for independent t-tests. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
resultsViolent behavior was reported in 45.6% of participants. High SES was significantly associated with increased violence (OR = 1.61, 95% CI: 1.33-1.95; p < 0.001). Additional risk factors included female sex, alcohol use, smoking, high BMI, and depression. Furthermore, sex-differentiated analysis revealed that high SES, early marriage, depression, smoking, and opioid addiction, were associated with greater violence in both sexes. However, intermediate SES and high BMI were risk factors only among women.
conclusionImplementing measures to prevent and treat depression, decrease smoking, opiate and alcohol use, regulate individuals' BMI, discourage early marriage, and promote empathetic behaviors might effectively mitigate violence in society.
