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) is a major public health issue associated with adverse mental health outcomes, including suicidal ideation. However, limited research has examined the correlates of suicidal ideation among shelter-seeking women. This study analyzed data from a clinical sample of 597 women who sought services from three major shelters for battered women in Hong Kong between 2020 and 2024. Among the participants, 48.1% reported suicidal ideation, and 21.3% were classified as having high-risk suicidal ideation based on its frequency in the preceding year. Logistic regression analyses identified several factors associated with high-risk suicidal ideation across victim, perpetrator, and family domains. Among participants' characteristics, lower educational attainment, being divorced or separated, chronic illness, and diagnosed mental illness were significantly associated with high-risk suicidal ideation. Perpetrator-related factors, including histories of childhood abuse or neglect, jealousy, and depressive symptoms, were also significantly associated with high-risk suicidal ideation. In addition, family members' chronic illness, mental illness, and gambling problems were associated with high-risk suicidal ideation. These findings underscore the importance of holistic and trauma-informed approaches in shelter settings that consider individual, relational, and family-level circumstances. Future research should further examine these associations over time and explore ways to strengthen shelter-based mental health support for this vulnerable population.
