Use and experience of intimate partner violence and coercive control among veterans in primary care: A latent class analysis.
Article in Psychological services, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intimate partner violence (IPV) occurs at elevated rates among Veterans, with recent meta-analyses estimating 31.8% of Veterans use IPV and 24.3% of Veterans experience IPV. While Johnson's (2008) typology distinguishes IPV types based on control patterns, limited research has applied latent class analysis to identify IPV typologies that incorporate measures of coercive control. This study used latent class analysis to examine patterns of IPV use and experience among Veterans in primary care, focusing on coercive control dynamics and their associations to mental health outcomes. Cross-sectional survey data were collected from 299 Veterans in romantic relationships receiving care at 20 community-based outpatient clinics in Western and Central New York. Measures included the Conflict Tactics Scale-Revised, Women's Experience with Battering scale, Proximal Antecedents of Violent Episodes, and correlated mental health assessments. Latent class analysis identified four distinct IPV typologies based on use and experience patterns: low-to-no conflict (26%), psychological IPV with negotiation (36%), high psychological/low physical without control (26%), and multitype IPV with control (13%). Veterans in the multitype class with coercive control showed significantly higher rates of depression, posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, alcohol misuse, and suicidal ideation compared to other classes. Over half (51%) of Veterans in this sample reported propensity for using violence to control their partner. Results demonstrate heterogeneous IPV patterns among Veterans, with coercive control dynamics associated with severe mental health comorbidity. Findings support the need for differentiated screening and intervention approaches in Veterans Health Administration settings, with particular attention to coercive control assessment for comprehensive IPV evaluation.
