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
objectivePregnant women, including those living with HIV, are at high risk for intimate partner violence (IPV), but the relationship between IPV and viral suppression is unclear. This analysis identifies associations between IPV, viral suppression, and their correlates among pregnant and postpartum women.
methodsWe conducted a secondary analysis of the Opt4Mamas prospective cohort study among pregnant women living with HIV in western Kenya (February 2019 to December 2021). Participants were enrolled during pregnancy and followed through 6 months postpartum with quarterly data collection. The primary outcome was sustained viral suppression (SVS, <1000 copies/mL) at all intervals from enrollment through 6 months postpartum. We used modified Poisson regression to obtain adjusted relative risks (aRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for predictors of recent IPV.
resultsAmong 689 participants with ≥2 viral load results available for analysis, 564 (82%) achieved SVS and 68 (10%) reported recent IPV. Recent IPV showed no association with SVS (aRR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.87, 1.11). However, lack of male partner support (aRR: 2.61, 95% CI: 1.14, 6.01), depression (aRR: 1.85, 95% CI: 1.16, 2.96), and stigma (aRR: 2.62, 95% CI: 1.52, 4.51) were associated with increased IPV. Non-disclosure of HIV status was associated with lower IPV reporting (aRR: 0.34, 95% CI: 0.14, 0.93).
conclusionWhile IPV was not associated with SVS, we identified important psychosocial correlates. Lack of male partner support, depression, and stigma were associated with increased IPV, emphasizing the need for interventions that address relationship dynamics, mental health, and HIV-related stigma to mitigate IPV exposure.
