Recorded summary

The primary physical-IPV outcome did not differ. Early alcohol and some secondary violence benefits faded by 12 months.

Recorded limitations

Secondary short-term findings should not replace the null primary physical-IPV result. Follow-up fell from 95% at three months to 82% at 12 months.

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.

    Secondary short-term findings should not replace the null primary physical-IPV result. Follow-up fell from 95% at three months to 82% at 12 months.
    attrition
    Follow-up rates 95%, 89%, 82% at 3, 6, 12 months.
    confounding
    Trial comparability and remaining biases need full methods appraisal.
    adverse Findings
    No withdrawals attributed to adverse effects; this does not establish absence of all harms.

    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.

    Hazardous-drinking men in batterer intervention programmes
    exposure Evidence
    The accessed publication explicitly identifies hazardous-drinking men in batterer intervention programmes.
    rationale
    Direct evidence concerning therapeutic or psychosocial responses to IPV, with survivor and perpetrator findings kept distinct.
    transfer Limit
    Secondary short-term findings should not replace the null primary physical-IPV result. Follow-up fell from 95% at three months to 82% at 12 months.
