SPECTRUM OF INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN NIGERIA: EXAMINING REGIONAL DISPARITIES USING A NATIONALLY REPRESENTATIVE SURVEY.
Article in Annals of Ibadan postgraduate 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
Background: The overwhelming global burden of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is borne by women and is highly prevalent across the globe. Despite all the efforts to eliminate IPV in Nigeria, its prevalence in 2018 was 36% higher than the value recorded in 2013 (25%). Understanding the regional difference will help the Government to deploy appropriate intervention and attain the SDG targets for the elimination of violence against women and girls by the year 2030. We, therefore, examined the regional disparities across the spectrum of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in Nigeria. Methods: This research was conducted among women aged 15 to 49 years using 2018 Nigeria Demographic Health Survey dataset. The IPV spectrum are sexual violence, emotional violence, less severe violence, and severe violence. Data were analyzed using logistic and generalized linear regression models (α Results: IPV prevalence was 35.9% in Nigeria, and it was higher in the South- East (48.3%) than in any other regions in Nigeria (North-Central (47.4%), North-East (47.3%), South-South (46.5%), North-West (27.0%), and South- West (19.8%)). The likelihood of sexual, emotional, and severe IPV was higher in the North-Central, North-East, North-West, South-East, and South-South than South-West. The common predictors across all the spectrums of IPV include region, education, husband/partner drinking alcohol, and childhood experience of parental violence. Conclusion: The level of IPV and its spectrum is high in Nigeria, but prominent disparities existed between the regions with North-East and South-East mostly affected. We advocate for regional-specific programs that aim to mitigate IPV in Nigeria.
