Strategies for preventing gender-based violence in healthcare services: Evidence synthesis for health policy.
Review in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 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
backgroundViolence against women remains a serious public health problem and a violation of human rights that affects women's health. Healthcare providers play a fundamental role in preventing and responding to violence against women and girls.
objectivesThis study analyzes strategies for preventing gender-based violence in healthcare services, focusing on identifying best practices for implementing evidence-based interventions in these settings. SEARCH STRATEGY: The review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute's method for umbrella reviews and the Evidence Synthesis for Health Policy. A comprehensive search strategy was applied across eight databases. SELECTION CRITERIA: Secondary studies of interventions that address gender-based violence in healthcare settings for women and adolescents of reproductive age were included in this review. Two reviewers independently screened the studies and assessed their quality. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Narrative synthesis was performed to summarize the evidence. MAIN
resultsA total of 24 systematic reviews conducted in healthcare settings were analyzed, most of them from high-income countries with diverse tools and methods. Screening strategies are implemented, particularly among at-risk populations in healthcare settings most frequented by women, such as sexual and reproductive services. Initiatives that include educational elements, counseling, and advocacy interventions show promising results.
conclusionCollaborative strategies in healthcare settings that guarantee the follow-up of the survivors, the mitigation of gender-based violence consequences, and its intergenerational transmission are necessary. Culturally sensitive strategies based on women-centered, diversity, and equity approaches must guide the implementation of the interventions.
