Intimate partner violence and mental disorders among women: an umbrella review.
Synthesis in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAlthough the associations between intimate partner violence and women's adverse mental health are widely recognized, inconsistencies persist concerning specific risk factors, forms of IPV, and related mental disorders. Women often hesitate to disclose their experience without proactive and sensitive questioning from healthcare professionals. The aim of this review is to summarize existing evidence on the effects of IPV experience on mental disorders and associated factors among women through a synthesis of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of quantitative studies.
methodsThe review adhered to a standardized protocol based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Overview of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRIOSMA) guidelines. We searched databases, including Medline/PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and HINARY, from inception to April 15, 2025. Only English-language articles were included. The updated A MeaSurement Tool to Assess the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR 2) was employed. Two independent reviewers assessed the methodological quality of the studies.
resultsSeventeen reviews were included from the initial identification of 1,167 articles. The qualitative synthesis revealed a significant association between intimate partner violence and common mental disorders, including depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and perinatal disorders. The methodological quality of the included reviews ranged from low to critically low.
conclusionQualitative synthesis revealed a significant association between IPV and adverse mental health outcomes in women. However, given that the methodological quality of the included reviews ranged from low to critically low, these findings must be interpreted with caution. PROTOCOL REGISTRATION: The protocol was registered on PROSPERO under registration number CRD42025643126. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
