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

Background: According to the WHO, violence is the intentional use of force or power against oneself, another person, or a community, causing injury, death, or harm. National data from 2021 reveal that as many as 70.1% of women in Mexico have experienced some form of violence. Pregnancy represents a period of heightened vulnerability, with negative impacts on material and infant health. Material and methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted on women during the immediate postpartum period. Domestic violence was assessed using the Woman Abuse Screening Tool (WAST) scale, the Affective Bonding and Prenatal Adjustment Assessment Scale survey, and postpartum depression was evaluated through the Results: Four hundred women were included using the short version of the WAST scale, with 31.5% (126) testing positive for the screening questions. Women who experienced abuse showed higher odds of postpartum depression (OR = 2.95; 95% IC: 1.87-4.63; Conclusions: One-third of the pregnant women in the study suffered intimate partner violence, mainly psychological and economic. Unwanted pregnancy, lack of emotional bonding, postpartum depression, alcohol/smoking, and low education levels were frequent factors.
