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

Objective: To compare the patterns of domestic violence among pregnant women residing in rural and urban areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Methods: This cross-sectional comparative study included 500 pregnant women (250 rural, 250 urban) attending the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Domestic violence was measured using the 25-item Domestic Violence Scale, covering seven domains: neglect, psychological, spiritual, verbal, economic, physical, and sexual violence. Independent variables included residence, age, education, occupation, socioeconomic status, trimester, and awareness of support services. Group comparisons were performed using the Chi-square and the Mann-Whitney Results: Rural women had significantly higher domestic violence scores than urban women ( Conclusion: Pregnant women residing in rural areas demonstrated greater vulnerability to domestic violence. In the adjusted analysis, urban residence was associated with lower violence scores, whereas the third trimester was associated with increased scores. Clinical Trial Registration: N/A.
