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

Introduction: Gender-based violence is a burden throughout Nepal. This study aimed to assess the sociodemographic profile of Gender-based violence cases and shed light on factors associated with these incidents in the Jumla district of rural Nepal. Methods: A retrospective observational study involving all the Gender-based violence cases brought for clinical medico-legal examination at the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, Karnali Academy of Health Sciences, Jumla, Nepal, from January 01, 2022 - December 31, 2023. The study variables included various socio-demographic profiles of these cases. These variables were entered and analyzed using Microsoft Excel (version 16.16.27--201012) and SPSS 23.0. Results: Among the total clinical forensic medicine cases, Gender-based violence was present in 83 (41.92%). All the females were survivors, 53 (63.85%), and all the malex were perpetrators, 30 (36.14%). The median ages of the female and male were 20 years (Range: 11-73) and 19 years (Range: 13-52), respectively. Among these cases, 20 (24.10%) had physical assault, and 63 (75.90%) were related to sexual assault, with all male examinees presenting with sexual assault. Conclusions: Gender-based violence is common among females in Jumla and is primarily inflicted by males due to various sociocultural factors.
