The prevalence of premenstrual dysphoric disorder among adolescents in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Irish journal of medical science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The rates of prevalence of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) in Ethiopia were high and inconsistent across studies. However, there was no previous systematic reviews and meta-analysis conducted on this topic. Therefore, this review aimed to systematically review previous studies on the topic and summarize the prevalence of PMDD among students in Ethiopia and formulate recommendations for future clinical services. The preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were used to conduct this systematic review and meta-analysis. Popular databases such as PubMed, EMBASE, Psych-INFO, SCOPUS, Google Scholar, African Index Medicus, and African Journals Online (AJOL) were searched for relevant studies. We used a Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software version 3.0 (CMA-3.0) to conduct a meta-analysis. The random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence. The magnitude of statistical heterogeneity between the eligible articles was checked by Cochrane Q and the I
