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 (IPV) is one of the most common forms of violence against women, occurring across social classes and religions worldwide. Globally, nearly one in three women have experienced IPV in their lifetime. During pregnancy, prevalence rates range from 2.0% to 13.5%.
aimThis study aimed to analyse the views of public health nurses (PHN) on screening for IPV in Finnish maternity clinics.
methodsA descriptive study with focus group discussions (n = 12 PHNs) and inductive content analysis.
resultsPublic health nurses acknowledged that screening for intimate partner violence is part of their responsibilities, even when it is challenging. Barriers to screening included lack of privacy and lack of a common language. PHNs also described difficulties when pregnant women were accompanied by their partners or others during clinic visits, as this limited the possibility for confidential conversations. DISCUSSION: Public health nurses expressed concern that IPV is often unreported, even when systematic screening is conducted. Many nurses also encountered cultural barriers when addressing IPV. This highlights the need for multilingual screening tools and clear guidelines on how to navigate situations where language barriers or the lack of privacy make communication difficult.
conclusionMore sensitive and culturally appropriate strategies are needed for the screening of IPV in maternity clinics.
