Dinmohammadi S; Dadashi M; Ahmadnia E; Janani L; Kharaghani R · BMC pregnancy and childbirth · 2021 · Randomized controlled trial

Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication

Recorded summary

Several violence subscales and adjusted overall quality of life favored counselling; severe physical violence and several quality-of-life subscales showed no benefit.

Recorded limitations

Small single-center, complete-case trial with unmasked self-report and short follow-up; baseline quality of life differed numerically.

Evidence and provenance

Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.

method
AI editorial assessment of all 130 publication records: compare identity, headline finding, design, relevance and limitations with indexed abstracts or available primary material; adjudicate retained source-supported methods amendments. This is a source-limited publication audit, not an independent full-text systematic review or a clinical guideline.
limitations

Abstract-only records do not establish allocation concealment, complete harms reporting or full risk of bias. · No formal independent RoB 2, GRADE appraisal or numerical reconstruction of every effect was performed. · Source-access labels describe retained appraisal evidence; fuller prior appraisals were checked through their source ledgers and selected material, not independently repeated in full. · Publication counts are not independent trial or participant counts; cohort links and overlapping review evidence remain provisional. · A randomized design cross does not indicate benefit, low risk of bias or human approval. No double-blind trial is verified in this release. · No professional clinical peer review is claimed. Recommended content is limited to accurately qualified research summaries.

      Quality of life
      follow Up
      Six weeks after treatment
      result
      Adjusted overall and selected subscales favored intervention; general health and physical/emotional role limitations did not.

      uncertainty
      Confidence intervals provided when source establishes them; otherwise unresolved.
      primary Status
      Study outcomes
    finding
    Several violence subscales and adjusted overall quality of life favored counselling; severe physical violence and several quality-of-life subscales showed no benefit.
    limitation
    Small single-center, complete-case trial with unmasked self-report and short follow-up; baseline quality of life differed numerically.

    method
    AI editorial assessment of all 130 publication records: compare identity, headline finding, design, relevance and limitations with indexed abstracts or available primary material; adjudicate retained source-supported methods amendments. This is a source-limited publication audit, not an independent full-text systematic review or a clinical guideline.
    limitations

    Abstract-only records do not establish allocation concealment, complete harms reporting or full risk of bias. · No formal independent RoB 2, GRADE appraisal or numerical reconstruction of every effect was performed. · Source-access labels describe retained appraisal evidence; fuller prior appraisals were checked through their source ledgers and selected material, not independently repeated in full. · Publication counts are not independent trial or participant counts; cohort links and overlapping review evidence remain provisional. · A randomized design cross does not indicate benefit, low risk of bias or human approval. No double-blind trial is verified in this release. · No professional clinical peer review is claimed. Recommended content is limited to accurately qualified research summaries.
