A novel mathematical approach to diagnose premenstrual syndrome.
Article in Journal of medical systems, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Diagnosis of Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a research challenge due to its subjective presentation. An undiagnosed PMS case is often termed as 'borderline' ('B') that further add to the diagnostic fuzziness. This study proposes a methodology to diagnose PMS cases using a combined knowledge engineering and soft computing techniques. According to the guidelines of American College of Gynecology (ACOG), ten symptoms have been selected and technically processed for 50 cases each having class labels-'B' or 'NB' (not borderline) using domain expertise. Any Attribute that fails normality test has been excluded from the study. Decision tree (DT) has then been induced in obtaining the initial class boundaries and mining the important Attributes to classify PMS cases. Prior doing so, the best split criterion has been set using the maximum information gain measure. Initial information about classification boundaries are finally used to measure fuzzy membership values and the corresponding firing strengths have been measured for final classification of PMS 'B' cases.
