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
introductionForensic medical opinions are central to classifying offences against health. Examinations determine whether violence resulted in bodily harm; in many cases, the victims are minors. METHODS AND
resultsWe analyzed 670 incidents of violence against minors in the Wielkopolska region (2015-2020) using anonymized forensic examinations commissioned by the police or requested by victims/legal guardians. Minors were defined as individuals aged <18 years. Descriptive statistics (mean, median, SD, IQR, range) and chi-square/Fisher tests were used; significance was set at p=0.05. Victims and perpetrators were predominantly male. Bruises were the most common injury, and the head was the most frequently affected region. More than half of incidents occurred in public spaces. DISCUSSION: An estimated one billion children worldwide experience violence each year; the true burden is likely higher because of underreporting. Many incidents never reach law enforcement, limiting available data. Although numerous social and preventive programs aim to reduce violence against children, its persistence indicates a need for broader, more comprehensive prevention.
conclusionsViolence against minors remains a major public health and social concern. Large-scale prevention programs are needed, and training for healthcare and educational professionals is crucial because they are often the first to recognize abuse and initiate appropriate intervention.
