Kontext:
A COMMON THREAD...
CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IMAGES

Es handelt sich um die Überschrift einer PowerPoint-Folie, es geht um einen Vortrag über Kindesmissbrauch...
Könnte es sich um den "gemeinsamen Nenner" handeln?

Bin für jeden Tipp dankbar...

Explanation:
Ich glaube nicht, dass hier ein Fehler vorliegt. Common thread = common feature, das man immer wieder findet. Vielleicht durchgehendes Merkmal. Gemeinsamer Nenner ist vielleicht auch OK.
