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

purposeWe aimed to take a detailed approach to examine difference in the extent and nature of IPV victimisation and their association with PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

methods100 community-dwelling IPV victim-survivors and 59 controls in Melbourne completed a series of questionnaires on IPV, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), brain injury, resilience, PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Prevalence of PTSD, depression, and anxiety in victim-survivors were compared to controls using chi-square tests. Then we used logistic regressions to examine differences in the nature and extent of IPV victimisation and their association with PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

resultsWe found an increased prevalence of probable PTSD (52.3% versus 1.7%), depression (47.6% versus 5.1%) and anxiety (53.3% versus 9.5%) in community-dwelling victim-survivors compared to controls. More lifetime IPV experiences, increased number of IPV relationships, less time since the most recent IPV relationship, experiences of sexual IPV, increased ACEs, and lower resilience were factors significantly associated with PTSD, depression, and/or anxiety among victim-survivors.

conclusionOverall, victim-survivors had an increased prevalence of adverse mental health outcomes. We found that several IPV experiences, ACEs, and resilience were significantly associated with the odds of probable PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Underscoring the complexity of IPV experiences and the need for trauma-informed care.
