Potential outcomes of interpersonal violence for women's artistic gymnasts: a qualitative analysis.
Article in British journal of sports medicine, 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
objectiveThis study aimed to identify, map and provide insight into the potential outcomes former elite-level women's gymnasts associate with their history of interpersonal violence (IV).
methodsThe study used a trauma-informed qualitative approach. The sample criterion was women's gymnasts, who had spoken out about IV through social and/or traditional media since the release of the documentary
resultsThe study sample included 18 former elite-level women's artistic gymnasts and one former elite-level rhythmic gymnast, aged 20-53, from 12 countries across four continents. The former gymnasts recounted extensive polyvictimisation by their coaches during formative years, which they associated with 54 potential negative and 7 potential not categorically negative outcomes. Their descriptions of the experiences indicate extensive and complexly interconnected potential psychological, behavioural, physical and material/performance outcomes. The younger, recently retired former gymnasts described their experiences in acute terms, the older former gymnasts recounted recurring and new outcomes. The public discourse on IV in women's gymnastics was acknowledged to have facilitated the development of not categorically negative outcomes.
conclusionThe study provides an overview of potential negative and not categorically negative outcomes of IV for women's artistic gymnasts. The insights allow a nuanced understanding of the long-lasting impact of IV, which can raise awareness and inform education, research and care protocols for victims of IV in sport.
