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
backgroundWomen who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) are more likely to develop disabling chronic pain (CP). However, there is little information on what it means to live with CP while being exposed to IPV. In addition, despite well-established risk and protective factors for CP and its health outcomes, there are no data on whether these factors differ in women who have experienced IPV compared to those who have not.
objectiveOur aims are to understand the meaning and implications of living with CP for women who have experienced IPV compared to women with CP alone and to identify possible differences in risk and protective factors as well as health outcomes.
methodsWe have designed 2 studies to be conducted in 2 phases. The first phase will involve a qualitative study with a descriptive and exploratory design. Individual semistructured interviews will be conducted with at least 10 women with CP alone and with 10 women with CP who have experienced IPV. Reflexive thematic analysis will be used to examine participants' experiences, meanings, and realities. In the second phase, a cross-sectional study will be conducted with women with CP affected by IPV, including those currently experiencing IPV and those with past exposure to IPV, as well as women with CP who have never experienced IPV. A total of 359 women will complete various scales assessing risk and protective factors (eg, pain-related worrying and activity patterns) and health outcomes (eg, legal and illegal drug use and health care use). Data analysis will involve inferential statistics and machine learning.
resultsAs of May 2025, we had contacted relevant associations to present the project and begin recruiting voluntary participants. We have conducted the pilot study to assure the adequacy of the questionnaire and usability or technical functionality of the web-based platform. The results are expected to be published starting in January 2026.
conclusionsThis research addresses two urgent needs in pain research identified by the European Pain Federation: (1) expanding knowledge on CP management in relation to contextual factors; and (2) identifying specific psychosocial, self-management, and health profiles among women with CP who have experienced IPV and those who have not. This could provide valuable insights for personalizing pain management treatments. In addition, the findings may help identify women experiencing IPV who present to health care settings.
