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
backgroundPrevious studies agreed that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a pervasive consequence affecting women who were exposed to intimate partner violence. Low levels of perceived social support could be associated with PTSD. This study aimed to investigate the association between social support provided to women exposed to intimate partner violence and PTSD.
methodsA cross-sectional quantitative research design was used to recruit women exposed to intimate partner violence residing in Amman, Irbid, and Zarqa. A non-probability convenience sampling method was used to recruit 166 women. They had to answer the participant’s socio-characteristics sheet, the Arabic version of the multidimensional scale of perceived social support (AVMSPSS), and the Arabic version of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (APLC-5).
resultsResults showed that there is a significant positive moderate association between the frequency of intimate partner violence and general symptoms of PTSD, r = 0.41 and p < 0.001. Also, results showed a significant negative moderate association between the frequency of intimate partner violence and total perceived social support, r = -0.36 and p < 0.001. General symptoms of PTSD had a significant negative moderate association with perceived social support, r = -0.38 and p < 0.001. IMPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The results of the study suggest that higher levels of perceived social support may be associated with lower severity of PTSD symptoms and reduced frequency of intimate partner violence. Efforts to enhance perceived social support—for example, by encouraging family involvement in promoting mutual respect in relationships and gender equity—could be considered as part of broader interventions. However, further research is needed to determine the most effective strategies.
