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
Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a widespread public health problem that affects women worldwide and represents a significant violation of human rights. Methods: This study utilized deidentified data from the 2022-2023 Mozambique Demographic and Health Survey to conduct a secondary analysis on the lifetime prevalence of IPV perpetrated by their current or most recent husband/intimate partner, and its associated factors. The analysis focused on 12 experiential, attitudinal, and socio-demographic attributes in women aged 15-49. For bivariate analysis, simple binary logistic regression models were used to identify correlates at the cutoff level of ≤0.20 Results: Altogether, 32.65% of women surveyed reported having experienced emotional, physical, or sexual violence from their current or most recent husband (for ever-married women) or intimate partner (for never-married women). Emotional IPV was the most common form, affecting 22.40% of respondents, closely followed by physical IPV at 21.34%. Women's involvement in decision-making, their partner's use of alcohol and controlling behavior, and knowledge of their father having ever beaten their mother were found to be statistically significantly associated with IPV in the multivariable model. Conclusion: IPV is shaped by a multitude of complex factors. One out of three women reported having experienced IPV, stressing the need for effective public health and societal measures to address and eradicate IPV in Mozambique.
