Outcome measures for heavy menstrual bleeding.
Review in Women's health (London, England), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Heavy menstrual bleeding is one of the most commonly encountered gynecological problems. While accurate objective quantification of menstrual blood loss is of value in the research setting, it is the subjective assessment of blood loss that is of greater importance when assessing the severity of heavy menstrual bleeding and any subsequent response to treatment. In this review the various approaches to objective, subjective and semi-subjective assessment of menstrual blood loss will be discussed.
