The number in each box corresponds to the mean RR estimated as part of this study for associations for psychological, physical and sexual GBV and specific health outcomes. The coloured boxes represent all associations supported by at least three published studies, allowing for our Burden of Proof assessment, while empty white cells reflect riskoutcome pairs for which we did not have enough data (three or more studies) to examine. The shades of the blue boxes represent the strength of evidence supporting each association based on our conservative interpretation of the data that aligns with the Burden of Proof approach. The strength of the evidence is translated into a star rating from one to five stars on the basis of thresholds outlined in Zheng et al. 14 , where one star denotes weak evidence, and each additional star indicates progressively stronger evidence. An absence of stars (zero stars) signifies insufficient evidence of a significant association between the exposure and the outcome.
