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

Intimate partner violence (IPV) remains a major public health concern globally, particularly among people living with HIV (PLHIV). While prior research has focused on individual and interpersonal factors, less attention has been given to structural determinants such as housing and water insecurity. This study examines associations between these insecurities and emotional, physical, and sexual abuse among PLHIV in Kenya. Data were drawn from a cross-sectional study (N = 1,132), with 515 participants aged ≥ 16 years completing IPV measures. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariable generalized linear models were used. Overall, 40.6% reported emotional abuse, 19.6% physical abuse, and 7.6% sexual abuse. Greater water insecurity was associated with increased odds of emotional abuse (AOR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01–1.05) and physical abuse (AOR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01–1.07), but not sexual abuse. Housing insecurity was associated only with emotional abuse (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.21–1.73). Addressing structural inequities may reduce IPV and improve health outcomes.
