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

aimThis study examined service providers' perspectives on how race, ethnicity, and immigration status shape help-seeking experiences and institutional responses for Black, Latino, and immigrant male victims of female-perpetrated intimate partner violence (IPV).

methodSemi-structured Zoom interviews were conducted with 10 service providers, primarily from the United States (with one provider each from Canada and Ireland), who work with male victims of female-perpetrated IPV. Participants included 5 attorneys, 2 domestic violence agency professionals, 2 mental health clinicians, and 1 executive director of a men and families center. Data were analyzed using an inductive reflexive thematic analytic approach.

resultsThree themes were identified: (1) Barriers to Help-Seeking, Protection, and Support, reflecting intersecting internal, structural, immigration-related, and institutional constraints; (2) Identity-Responsive Practices, describing providers' strategies for adapting services to diverse male victims; and (3) Gender as the Initial Lens of Institutional Interpretation, reflecting providers' descriptions of gender as the initial lens through which male victimization was interpreted, with race, ethnicity, and immigration status shaping institutional responses.

conclusionFrom the perspective of service providers, improving protection for Black, Latino, and immigrant male victims of female-perpetrated IPV requires more than stigma reduction. Findings suggest that systems should address credibility bias, expand culturally and linguistically responsive services, and integrate immigration-informed pathways to promote more equitable access to safety.
