Intimate partner violence and associated factors among adult women: a population-based study.

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
objectiveThe study investigated the lifetime prevalence of intimate partner violence among women aged 20 to 69 years residing in the urban area of São Leopoldo (RS) and associated factors.
methodsThis was a population-based cross-sectional study in which 1,113 women were interviewed. The outcome was self-reported lifetime intimate partner violence, and sociodemographic, physical and mental health, and behavioral variables were assessed. A stratified analysis by age group was performed.
resultsThe prevalence of intimate partner violence in the sample was 17.9% (95%CI 15.6-20.1). In the adjusted analysis, the outcome was associated with lower socioeconomic status, a history of sexually transmitted infections, and the presence of common mental disorders. In the stratified analysis, women aged 20-39 years had a 13.7% (95%CI 10.5-16.8) lifetime prevalence of intimate partner violence, with nearly three times the likelihood among those with common mental disorders. Among women aged 40 years or older, the prevalence was 20.7% (95%CI 17.6-23.8), with those in the lowest socioeconomic class, who were single, divorced, or widowed, who self-reported sexually transmitted infections, and who had common mental disorders being more likely to experience the outcome. Secondary intersectional analyses revealed a higher prevalence of intimate partner violence among Black or Brown women with low educational attainment (PR = 1.67; 95%CI 1.14-2.45) and White women with low educational attainment (PR = 1.58; 95%CI 1.14-2.19), compared to white women with higher educational attainment.
conclusionsThe study demonstrated a high lifetime prevalence of intimate partner violence, reinforcing the need for public policies that improve women's socioeconomic conditions, as well as integrated gender-based violence prevention programs that incorporate mental health care in the support provided to victims.
