Addressing domestic violence by obstetric and gynecological resident doctors: pre-post intervention study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 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
backgroundThe World Health Organization indicates that 1 in 3 women worldwide have suffered psychological and/or sexual violence, the majority of which is committed by an intimate partner. Although several organizations support routine screening for violence, the screening rate in medical consultations is low and this can be partially explained by the lack of knowledge and difficulty in approaching the topic. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practice of Gynecology and Obstetrics residents before and after educational intervention on Domestic Violence.
methodsWe performed a mixed-method study with 4 phases: phase 1 - Initial domestic violence screening; phase 2 - pre-intervention (questionnaires applied); phase 3 - intervention (informative booklet and video); phase 4 - post-intervention (questionnaires reapplied). Content analyzes and comparative pre- and post-intervention responses were carried out.
resultsThirty-seven residents participated. The majority were female, with white skin color in the third decade of life. Qualitative analysis identified four themes: (1) The Pain that Lives in Me: Feelings that emerge in professionals when faced with situations of domestic violence; (2) "What do I do now?!!": challenges regarding the initial approach and management of domestic violence; (3) "Who should I lean on?": The importance of institutional structure for addressing domestic violence in health services; (4) The Invisibility of Violence: a cultural issue. There was no difference in pre- and post-intervention data, but they referred more discomfort in approach gender-based violence issues than other topics like substance abuse or sexual practices.
conclusionsThe lack of a domestic violence approach in medical training and health professionals' feelings were barriers to screening. Addressing gender-based violence must begin in the medical curriculum and continue with advanced training during specialization.
