Evaluating website resources shared online amongst women with intimate partner violence experiences: analysis of an online health community.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Intimate partner violence (IPV) affects around one in four women globally, posing substantial health risks. IPV survivors often consult online health communities for anonymous assistance rather than formal services. Though online health community members frequently share websites to answer questions, no studies have investigated the characteristics and relevance of websites shared in IPV online health communities. This study aims to identify the categories of websites shared in IPV online health communities and evaluate associations between post characteristics and website relevance to survivors' help-seeking needs. Methods: Data were extracted from posts and comments on the r/domesticviolence, a subreddit (topic-specific community) dedicated to domestic violence support on Reddit (a social media platform), from November 2020 to November 2021. We included English-language posts seeking advice, written by adult women with IPV experiences, with at least one website shared in the comments. Website links were annotated by topics and categorized as relevant or irrelevant to help requested by original posters. Posts were annotated for characteristics including post length, mentions of "red flags" for lethality, and specific versus general help requests. Chi-square and Results: A total of 170 website links were categorized into eight themes, with General IPV Resources and Support (32.4%) and Understanding IPV (28.2%) being the most common. Approximately 75.3% of the websites were relevant to the types of help sought by original posters. Post characteristics showed no significant association with the relevance of the websites. Conclusion: This study sheds light on the types of websites shared within IPV online health communities and informs IPV agencies and clinicians about the addressed and unaddressed needs of women IPV survivors seeking help online. These findings could help optimize the design of online health community platforms, including digital tools that automatically suggest relevant websites to IPV survivors.
