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
backgroundIntimate partner violence is a global issue. Dental settings are currently thought of as novel places for IPV support, with little known about the characteristics and effectiveness of current interventions.
objectivesThis scoping review explores the characteristics and effectiveness of current IPV interventions in dental settings.
methodsThe initial search was completed in June 2023 and updated in February 2025. APAPsychINFO, CINAHL, Medline, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched for peer-reviewed literature for key search terms related to IPV interventions within the dental setting. Grey literature was located via searching HealthInfonet, Google, and Google Scholar. No constraints were applied on publication date. All included literature was reviewed and double screened using Covidence. Following the extraction of relevant information, a thematic synthesis approach was conducted, inspired by Bronfenbrenner's concepts of macrosystem (policy, legislation and culture), exosystem (clinical settings), mesosystem (interactions between dental and non-dental professionals), and microsystem (interactions between staff and patients) to analyze and present the study findings.
resultsTwenty-three literature sources were included following removal of duplicates and screening of title and abstract and then full text. Of the 23 included literature sources18 were peer-reviewed empirical sources, and 5 were grey literature. IPV interventions were mostly implemented at a macrosystem and mesosystem level; they were in the form of information resources, educational and training programs, and integrated care models. Microsystem interventions received the least attention and were focused on visual resources available to raise awareness of dental practices as a safe place to disclose IPV. Results indicated that evaluated IPV training interventions in dental settings returned positive outcomes in enhancing dental service staff's knowledge, attitudes, and acceptability of IPV screening in dental settings. The feasibility of implementing training interventions for dental practice staff was also positive.
conclusionsThere are positive outcomes from IPV interventions that have been implemented and evaluated in dental practice settings. However, the rigor, transferability, and sustainability of the interventions across all types of dental settings require further exploration.
