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
Domestic violence against men remains significantly under-recognized, despite affecting 20-40% of men worldwide. Societal stigma, gender-normative expectations, and institutional biases often discourage help-seeking behaviors among male victims. This retrospective analysis characterizes domestic violence against adult men by examining victim-perpetrator dynamics, injury patterns, reporting behaviors, and behavioral barriers to help-seeking within an Italian emergency department setting. Overall, 80 adult male domestic violence victims presenting to the Emergency Department of Careggi University Hospital (Florence, Italy) between January 2017 and December 2022 were examined. Data included demographics, injury characteristics, perpetrator relationships, and formal reporting rates. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used to examine associations between victim characteristics and help-seeking behaviors. The majority of victims were Italian men (age range 18-90 years, mean 44.2 ± 15.1); of these, 55% experienced IPV perpetrated by female partners. Physical injuries were predominantly minor (classified as minor according to ED prognosis ≤ 7 days) (78.8%), including abrasions and contusions affecting the head (52.5%), neck (28.8%), and upper limbs (41.3%). Formal reports were filed with judicial authorities in 58.8% of cases, yet only 15% accepted protective interventions. Visible facial injuries (OR = 3.85, 95% CI,
