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

Background: This study examined the feasibility and preliminary clinical indications of an imagery rescripting intervention integrating the Pathological Affective Dependence framework (ImRs-PAD) in survivors of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). Pathological Affective Dependence (PAD) refers to a trauma-related relational vulnerability associated with difficulties in disengaging from abusive intimate relationships. Method: A multiple case series design was used with three female IPV survivors referred by a mental health center in Italy (mean age = 31.3 years, Results: Across cases, reductions were observed in PAD, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and trauma-related and somatic complaints, alongside increases in resilience, self-compassion, and overall psychological well-being. The online delivery of the intervention was feasible, with no technical or safety issues reported. Conclusion: The findings provide preliminary support for the potential clinical relevance of ImRs-PAD for IPV survivors. Addressing PAD may facilitate disengagement from violent partners and reduce the risk of re-exposure to severe forms of violence.
