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
Femicides and family-related homicides represent a significant concern, with over 50% of homicides occurring within the family setting. This study aimed to explore the complex factors, including psychological aspects, behind such crimes, focusing on a sample of inmates incarcerated for homicide, attempted homicide, or femicide. The study analyzed data from 11 inmates (8 males, 3 females) incarcerated for homicide or attempted homicide. Demographic, clinical, and criminological data were collected, and psychological functioning was assessed using the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R). The sample had an average age of 48 years and generally low educational attainment. Significant mental health issues were identified, with 45.5% of participants reporting a history of substance dependence and suicide attempts. Psychological assessments revealed a predominance of anxiety and depressive symptoms, particularly within the domain of negative affectivity. Findings suggest a link between emotional and relational dysfunction and violent behavior, indicating the need for targeted psychological interventions. However, given the small sample size, these results should be interpreted with caution and considered preliminary. Future research should employ more advanced statistical methods and include victims' perspectives to better identify risk factors and improve prevention strategies.
