1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundLatina immigrants in the United States face barriers to accessing information and support for intimate partner violence (IPV) due to language and cultural differences, a lack of legal awareness, social isolation, and financial issues. Despite numerous interventions, research lacks insight into how these programs address access barriers and target IPV-related risk and protective factors.

objectiveThis systematic review aims to (1) identify intervention studies conducted with Latina immigrants in reducing IPV outcomes (ie, sexual and physical violence and gender-based violence-related knowledge and attitudes), (2) evaluate the extent to which the implementation of these IPV interventions aligns with the access to care framework, and (3) establish whether the extent of IPV intervention alignment with the access to care framework has any significant impact on effectiveness.

methodsA systematic review will be conducted using the PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols) checklist. The research will proceed iteratively among authors. The team, including a librarian, developed a search strategy and searched 7 databases, namely, APA PsycInfo, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, PubMed, Scopus, Social Work Abstracts, GenderWatch, and Sociological Abstracts, from inception to June 9, 2025. Two reviewers independently conducted a double selection of titles, abstracts, and full texts. Disagreements were resolved by a third reviewer. Data extraction will be performed by 2 reviewers and validated by a senior researcher. We will develop an intervention characteristics form for data extraction and analyze the study quality using the modified Methodological Quality Rating Scale. To assess alignment with access implementation standards, we will operationalize the access to care framework by creating the Domains of IPV Service Access Rating Scale to evaluate how interventions address access barriers and determine whether addressing these barriers increases intervention effectiveness.

resultsThe search strategy and literature review were finalized in June 2025. A total of 943 references were identified after duplicates were removed, of which 182 will be reviewed in full text. A follow up search will be performed prior to submission. The publication is anticipated for October 2025.

conclusionsThis review will provide a comprehensive synthesis of strategies to address access barriers in IPV interventions for Latina immigrants, informing future practice and research to enhance equitable access to support and resources.
