A Short Report: Self-Perceptions of Victimhood Among Women in Sex Trafficking Specialty Court Programming.
Article in American journal of criminal justice : AJCJ, 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
While many women involved in the sex trade meet the legal criteria to be considered a sex trafficking victim, engagement in sex trafficking specialty court programs remain low. Although these programs offer benefits to participants, barriers impede engagement. One reason for low engagement may be that some women do not self-identify as a "trafficking victim," and therefore do not see the program as being meant for them. To investigate this potential barrier, the current study was completed in partnership with three sex trafficking specialty court programs and one non-profit in Ohio. We conducted a cross-sectional, retrospective survey of 74 women to explore their self-perceptions of victimhood before and after entering the court program. These findings stand to educate criminal justice actors on how women with experiences of trafficking view and label their experiences over time. By better understanding the experiences and self-perceptions of those who have experienced trafficking, these programs can potentially help more individuals benefit from their resources who would otherwise be left out.
