1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Group-based IPV prevention programmes use participatory learning to impart new information, encourage critical reflection on gender and power dynamics, and develop new skills. Understanding whether and how these programmes are internalised and acted upon can allow for programme designs to enhance facilitators of positive change, inform efforts to adapt and scale the programme, and understand the potential for sustained change. This paper presents a qualitative study that explored men's and women's perceptions, experiences, and learning from participating in HIKA, a group-based couples' IPV prevention programme, together with facilitator experience. HIKA, a 22-session participatory curriculum, was adapted from the
