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

backgroundTo explore acceptable strategies and feasibility of intimate partner violence (IPV) screening at assisted reproductive technology (ART) hospitals, from the perspective of healthcare providers.

methodsDrawing on programmatic qualitative research design, this study used in-depth interviews to elicit experiences and opinions of clinicians who provided ART services in selected hospitals in Beijing, Anhui Province, Guangdong Province, and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Reigion.

resultsA total of 14 ART doctors and nurses joined our study. We found that clinicians encountered suspected cases of IPV victimization and that several reported having applied strategies to identify IPV in medical practice. Acceptable strategies mentioned by clinicians include identifying key patients of concern during ART service delivery, and thereafter following up with case management. Most healthcare providers mentioned that challenges to IPV screening at ART clinics would include its incompatibility between clinical workflow, clinic venue-specific disadvantages for routinized IPV screening, and limited capacity of the healthcare workforce to respond to IPV.

conclusionsHealthcare providers at ART clinics have commonly encountered infertility patients who fell victim to IPV. Screening for IPV is deemed possible only if risk stratification is implemented. Several health system-level challenges should be addressed to mobilize and incentive healthcare providers to engage more with IPV screening.
