Prevalence and Risk of Violence Among People With Disabilities in China: A Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies.
Synthesis in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIndividuals with disabilities are vulnerable to violence, but the prevalence and risk of violence against this population in China remain unclear.
objectiveThis study aims to examine the prevalence, risk (using odds ratios), and potential moderators of violence against people with disabilities in China.
methodsA comprehensive search of both Chinese and English databases was conducted, identifying 47 eligible observational studies. A three-level meta-analysis was used to summarize the prevalence and odds ratios (ORs) across studies. Subgroup analyses were performed to explore potential moderators.
resultsThe meta-analysis found the overall prevalence of violence against individuals with disabilities in China was 32.16% (95% CI [25.87%, 38.77%]). The pooled odds ratio indicated that people with disabilities were 2.13 times more likely to experience violence than those without (95% CI [1.69, 2.67]). Both estimates were higher than global figures. Significant heterogeneity was present (I² = 98.50% for prevalence; I² = 77.18% for ORs). Subgroup analyses identified several significant moderators, including sampling strategy, sample size, age, educational setting, perpetrator, violence type, respondent, and assessment time-frame.
conclusionsThe prevalence and risk of violence against people with disabilities in China are high. The findings highlight the critical need for targeted prevention and intervention strategies. The significant moderators identified should be considered in future research and policy-making.
