Synthesis in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: More than a quarter of women aged 15 to 49 who have had a partner worldwide have experienced varying degrees of intimate partner violence (IPV). Cultural differences lead to different perceptions of intimate relationship violence among women, as well as varying degrees and forms of intimate relationship violence they experience. Aim: This study aimed to systematically evaluate the psychological experiences and needs of women who experienced intimate relationship violence during the perinatal period, helping clinical nursing staff identify manifestations of violence and provide targeted assistance. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, China Biomedical Literature Service System to involve relevant literature on the experience and needs of intimate relationship violence among perinatal women. The search period was from the establishment of the database to July 2025. An initial search using the keywords "intimate partner violence," "pregnancy," "perinatal," and "qualitative research" retrieved 2,980 articles. We used JBI quality evaluation criteria to assess the quality of the included studies. This study followed the Enhancing transparency in reporting the synthesis of qualitative research (ENTREQ) guidelines. Results: A total of 16 studies were included. Four themes and nine sub themes were summarized and synthesized: Theme 1: Negative experiences (① aggravated physical discomfort symptoms, ② severe psychological trauma); Theme 2: Poor of maternal role adaptation (① Weakening of the bond with children, ② Lack of confidence in parenting), Theme 3: Resilience from motherhood (① Self-regulation, ② Seeking change); Theme 4: Neglected needs (① Information needs, ② Social support needs). Conclusion: Perinatal women are prone to various forms of violence. This can lead to severe physical and psychological trauma as well as adverse pregnancy outcomes. Medical healthcare personnel should be trained to identify violent behaviors. Appropriate communication skills should be employed to expose intimate relationship violence. Training in skills such as parenting and psychological counseling should be provided to perinatal women. Social support organizations should offer economic, policy, legal and psychological assistance to perinatal women.
