More expansive state supplemental nutrition assistance program eligibility, intimate partner violence, and mental health during the preconception, prenatal, and postpartum periods.

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: Intimate partner violence (IPV) and depressive symptoms are major public health concerns during the preconception, prenatal, and postpartum periods and are shaped by both interpersonal and structural conditions, including economic hardship and food insecurity. State-level Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) eligibility policies, including eliminating the SNAP asset test and increasing the SNAP income limit under broad-based categorical eligibility (BBCE), influence access to food assistance and may be associated with maternal well-being. Methods: We conducted a repeated cross-sectional analysis of data from 66,677 women with lower income in the 2016-2020 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System. We categorized states as having two BBCE policies, one BBCE policy, or no BBCE policies, reflecting more expansive SNAP eligibility. We conducted log-binomial regression with generalized estimating equations to calculate adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), estimating associations of state BBCE policies with preconception and prenatal physical IPV and postpartum depressive symptoms. Results: Compared to women in states with no BBCE policies, those in states with both BBCE policies had a lower prevalence of preconception and prenatal physical IPV (PR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.66-0.94) and postpartum depressive symptoms (PR: 0.83, 95% CI: 0.75-0.93). Estimates for states with one BBCE policy were smaller and less precise but also suggested a decreased prevalence of preconception and prenatal physical IPV and postpartum depressive symptoms compared to states with no BBCE policies (PR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.64-1.00; PR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.81-1.03, respectively). Conclusions: Results suggest that structural conditions shaping access to economic resources may represent a pathway through which risk for IPV and maternal mental health challenges can be prevented.
