The association between childhood sexual abuse and somatic symptoms at midlife: The roles of depression and intimate partner relationship quality.
Article in Journal of family violence, 2024. 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
Purpose: Childhood sexual abuse is a risk factor for somatic symptoms during adulthood. Mechanisms linking childhood sexual abuse to somatic symptoms are not well known, nor are moderators that buffer the influence of abuse. Methods: The present study utilized path analyses to explore among a sample of middle-aged adults (N = 264) whether childhood sexual abuse was positively associated with increased somatic symptoms, the mechanistic role of depression, and the buffering role of intimate partner relationship quality. Results: Among the full sample and those with lower intimate partner relationship quality, there was a significant indirect effect of childhood sexual abuse on somatic symptom severity via depression. Among those with high intimate partner relationship quality there was neither a direct nor indirect effect of childhood sexual abuse on somatic symptom severity. Conclusions: Depression may serve as a mechanism in the transmission of risk from childhood sexual abuse to somatic symptoms at midlife, whereas intimate partner relationship quality may serve as a protective factor.
