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
Background: Few studies have examined, in an integrated way, the intersection of contract stability and rank and their relationship to (non) reporting and labor consequences, particularly in specific contexts, In Gender-based violence (GBV) in higher education. This study examined whether contractual conditions, academic rank, disciplinary unit affiliation, institutional trust, and cultural coping norms are associated with experiences of gender-based violence, reporting of such violence, and perceived impact on academic work among female academics in Chile. Methods: An analytic cross-sectional survey was conducted among female academics at a regional public university in Northern Chile. The final sample included 85 participants selected from a target population of 229 female academics. The questionnaire assessed self-reported GBV experiences during the last 5 years, including psychological, sexual, and physical violence; perpetrator groups; occurrence contexts; help-seeking and formal reporting; perceived effects on university life; knowledge of institutional regulations; and perceptions of organizational culture. Descriptive analyses, Fisher-Freeman-Halton exact tests, Kruskal-Wallis tests, and logistic regression models, including Firth penalized estimation, were used to examine organizationally patterned associations. Results: The 67% of participants (57/85) reported at least one GBV experience during the last 5 years, with psychological violence being the most frequent form, followed by sexual violence. Psychological violence varied significantly by faculty affiliation ( Conclusion: GBV against female academics is not only an interpersonal problem but also an organizational and occupational issue shaped by disciplinary contexts, employment insecurity, academic hierarchies, and weak institutional trust. The results highlight the need for universities to strengthen reporting mechanisms, guarantee protection regardless of contract status, provide psychosocial and legal support, and implement follow-up systems that ensure due process independent of the victim's faculty or contract type. These measures are particularly relevant for the effective implementation of Chilean Law 21.369 and the advancement of organizational justice in higher education.
