Article in International journal of applied & basic medical research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06303297 (Combined Effects of Reflexology and Generalized Stretching on Insomnia, Vasomotor Symptoms and Quality of Life in Postmenopausal Females), which is not on this map.

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.
