Injuries in Children Undergoing Subspecialty Abuse Evaluations Because of Intimate Partner Violence.
Article in Pediatrics open science, 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesIntimate partner violence (IPV) and child physical abuse often co-occur, but the frequency and risk factors for abusive injuries in IPV-exposed children remain unknown. Our objectives were to (1) determine frequency of skeletal surveys (SSs) and neuroimaging use because of IPV and their diagnostic value in children aged less than 24 months evaluated by a child abuse pediatrics specialist (CAP) and (2) identify factors associated with performance of and findings on SS and neuroimaging.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective study of children aged less than 24 months undergoing CAP consultations because of IPV exposure from February 2021 to February 2024 in a multicenter child abuse research network. We analyzed use of SS and neuroimaging and associations between imaging use and sociodemographic factors and associations between imaging positivity and clinical factors (age, injury-related chief complaint, presenting trauma history, injury on physical examination).
resultsAmong 326 children, 305 (93.6%) underwent SSs, with 29 (9.5%) positive for a new fracture. Among 267 children without signs/symptoms of head trauma, 110 (41.2%) had neuroimaging, with 7 (6.4%) positive for intracranial injury. There was no disproportionality in SS use, but race/ethnicity and insurance type were associated with the use of neuroimaging. The presence of an injury on physical examination finding was associated with newly identified fractures (15.7% vs 6.4%;
conclusionsCurrent evidence supports use of SSs in children aged less than 24 months undergoing medical evaluations after exposure to IPV. Further research is needed to assess risk factors for positive findings on SSs and neuroimaging with larger sample sizes.
