Behavioral intervention for mental health of pregnant women experiencing domestic violence: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Frontiers in public health, 2025. 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
Background: The intersection of domestic violence (DV) during pregnancy has multiple detrimental effects on the mother and family, resulting in mental health impairment. In a cognizant effort to empower pregnant women who have experienced DV, a Behavioral Intervention Package (BIP) was developed and used. The BIP incorporates yoga-based techniques for self-development, interpersonal skill development, and awareness sessions. The study aims to assess the effect of a BIP on the quality of life (QOL), DV, anxiety, depression, PTSD and coping mechanisms of Indian women experiencing violence during pregnancy. Methods: This randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving pregnant women experiencing DV and attending antenatal care (ANC) was conducted at Lok Nayak (LN) Hospital in New Delhi. It is a tertiary care government hospital that provides free maternal healthcare services and primarily caters to individuals from low and middle socio-economic status. Based on the inclusion criteria, 921 participants were screened, and finally, 211 women were randomly assigned to either the intervention group ( Results: The mean age of women in the intervention group was 25.3 years, and in the control group, it is 24.5 years. The intervention group showed significant improvements in QOL, with increases in physical (6.933 vs. -3.121) and mental health scores (7.802 vs. -3.623). Anxiety decreased (effect size 9.979), and there were significant reductions in depression scores (8.882), PTSD, and DV. Improvements in coping strategies (MD = 1.1, 95% CI = -1.47, -0.71) and social support (MD = 1.57) were also observed. Conclusion: The BIP can positively impact the mental health of pregnant women experiencing DV and attending ANC in India. As no standardized intervention exists for this population attending ANC in a hospital in India, integrating the BIP as an intervention during ANC is recommended.
