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

backgroundIntimate Partner Violence (IPV) against women is a critical public health issue in developing nations like Iran, exacerbated by socioeconomic disparities. This study identifies IPV severity patterns and examines sociodemographic factors linked to each severity class among partnered women.

methodsA population-based cohort study involving 2,502 partnered Iranian women aged 18 to 60 years, with a six-month follow-up. Data on mental, physical, and sexual IPV were collected through structured surveys. Latent class analysis (LCA) was performed to identify severity profiles. Logistic regression models were used to explore sociodemographic predictors of class membership. Results are reported as adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsData from 2,116 women (mean age, 37.68years; SD: 10.25) were analyzed. Five IPV severity profiles were identified: No IPV (35%), Mild IPV (6%), Mild-to-Moderate IPV (23%), Moderate-to-Severe IPV (22%), and Severe IPV (14%). The Mild IPV group included younger women (under 40 years) and was associated with higher age at marriage and unemployed spouses. The Mild-to-Moderate and Moderate-to-Severe IPV groups were associated with longer marriage duration and more children. The Severe IPV group was characterized by lower socioeconomic status, larger spousal age gaps, longer marriage duration, higher age at marriage, and a greater number of children.

conclusionIPV severity in this developing country population clustered into five distinct profiles. Severe IPV was consistently linked to socioeconomic disadvantage and relational vulnerabilities. Tailored interventions targeting high-risk women in resource-limited settings are essential to reduce IPV burden. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
