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
backgroundIntimate partner violence (IPV) is a global health problem that involves harmful, aggressive, and potentially life-threatening abuse against a partner in an intimate relationship. IPV may involve physical, verbal, psychological, or emotional abuse with an intercalating pattern of occurrence. Females are primarily victims of IPV, with men as perpetrators in most cases. Female healthcare workers also suffer from IPV, much like the general women population. However, most previous studies only focused on IPV in the general women population without particular focus on female workers in the healthcare sector.
methodsOur study employed a cross-sectional design using a semi-structured self-administered questionnaire involving 282 female healthcare workers. The survey focused on various forms of IPV, including psychological, verbal, and domineering/isolation abuses. Data was entered using SPSS version 23, and univariate and bivariate analyses were done using STATA 14. Informed consent and ethical approval were obtained.
resultsOur respondents were mostly Yorubas (93.3%) and Christians (95.7%), primarily nurses (42.2%) and administrative officers (33.3%). Findings indicate a high prevalence of psychological abuse, with 74.1% of participants reporting mild to severe forms. Psychological abuse was the most common, followed by verbal and domineering/isolation abuses. Mild abuse is the most common form across all abuse types. Nurses suffered from IPV the most. There was a significant association between marital status and increased susceptibility to various forms of IPV.
conclusionThe prevalence of IPV, particularly psychological maltreatment among female healthcare workers, underscores the critical need for comprehensive intervention strategies. These strategies should include workplace policies and societal efforts aimed at reducing IPV and supporting victims.
