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

introductionDomestic violence against women (DVAW) is a global health issue, particularly in areas with patriarchal norms and a lack of culturally relevant assessment tools. We developed a culturally adapted questionnaire to measure community attitudes toward DVAW in Saudi Arabia.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study involving expert review, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and assessments of internal consistency. The study included a convenience sample of 831 adult participants, comprising 417 males and 414 females.

resultsThe adapted instrument showed excellent psychometric properties (Cronbach's alpha = 0.93) and strong validity across demographic groups. Although excluding acceptance-oriented items narrowed the conceptual scope, the remaining items effectively measure key dimensions of DVAW rejection, reflecting community attitudes and their mental health implications. DISCUSSION: This reliable instrument measures community attitudes toward DVAW. Future work may explore cognitive neuroscience methods to study attitude change and the long-term effects of culturally adapted interventions on mental health.
