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
Introduction: Domestic violence (DV) represents a significant source of suffering, particularly among women as their lifetime risk of DV is 33%, globally. Identifying DV in emergency settings remains a clinical challenge as it is not consistently screened for. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of DV in female trauma patients at our trauma center and to describe their injuries, in order to improve targeted care services. Methods: A prospective observational study from September 2021 to September 2022 included women (≥18 years) admitted to Sahlgrenska University Hospital's Trauma Unit in Gothenburg, Sweden. Exclusions comprised non-Swedish residents, post-traffic accident admissions, dementia, or the inability to give informed consent. Patients completed questionnaires on DV history, current DV, type of abuse, substance involvement, relationship duration, and education level. Data on injury, management, and hospital stay were collected. Results: Of 19 included patients, 36.8% (n = 7) experienced DV. None reported sexual abuse. DV-exposed women had a mean age of 53 ± 17 years, while the non-DV group averaged 60 ± 23 years ( Conclusion: There is a substantial prevalence of DV among female trauma patients, underscoring the need for medical professionals to consistently screen for DV in all female trauma cases, irrespective of the nature of their injuries.
