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.

Abstract
contextDue to increased life expectancy worldwide, women are expected to spend a significant portion of their lives in menopause. Proven prevention strategies against serious risks and tested effective treatments for common symptoms may remain unutilized in our population if these women are not asked about these symptoms.
aimThis study aims to assess the prevalence of different menopausal symptoms and their severity according to menopause rating scale (MRS) in women. SETTING AND
designThe present study was a cross-sectional survey, conducted in the outpatient department of gynecology and obstetrics. SUBJECTS AND
methodsAfter written and informed consent, 121 women having their last menstrual period at least 1 year ago were included. The menopausal symptoms were assessed using the MRS. The primary outcome measure in this study was the prevalence of menopausal symptoms in these women according to MRS and the severity of these symptoms. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Data were analyzed using the SPSS software program, version 15.0 (IBM, Armonk, New York, USA).
resultsThe most common symptom was mental and physical exhaustion which was reported by 88 (72%) women, followed by joint and muscular discomfort which was reported by 83 (68.59%). Hot flushes were reported by 54 (44.62%) respondents. Majority of women reported mild-to-moderate symptoms.
conclusionsThe prevalence of menopausal symptoms is high, and a health policy needs to be generated for the region.
