Spillover mechanisms linking intimate partner violence and child maltreatment: a cross-sectional and longitudinal study among Eastern European mothers.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03865485 (RISE- Prevention of Child Mental Health Problems in Southeastern Europe - Adapt, Optimize, Test and Extend Parenting for Lifelong Health - A Factorial Study), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundDespite the high rates and detrimental consequences of co-occurring intimate partner violence (IPV) and offspring child maltreatment (CM), research regarding their potential spillover mechanisms is scarce. This study aims to examine the relation between IPV and CM and the potential mediating roles of maternal depression, anxiety and stress symptoms as well as children´s externalizing behavior problems. Within this model, the potential moderating effect of mothers' own history of CM in the link between IPV and maternal depression, anxiety and stress symptoms is investigated.
methodsIn this cross-section and longitudinal study, an Eastern European sample of 701 mothers (M
resultsCross-sectionally, maternal mental health and child externalizing behavior partially mediated the effect of IPV on CM. Results could not be replicated when using longitudinal data. Maternal history of CM did not moderate the strength of the association between IPV and maternal mental health problems.
conclusionsCross-sectional findings implicate that maternal and child mental health problems, as well as the mother's own history of CM, seem to be key players in the cycle of violence. Findings may encourage practitioners to target more than one outcome when implementing early interventions for preventing mental health problems or reducing family violence.
