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
Menstruation is one of the important indicators of reproductive health. Therefore, in order to improve the reproductive health of women in puberty and early adulthood, it is necessary to investigate menstrual health and symptoms. This cross-sectional descriptive correlational study was conducted to identify young women's menstrual cycle patterns, prevalence of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and the relationships of health-related factors according to menstrual regularity and PCOS. 462 women participated in the first phase of the study and completed the menstrual health and health-related behaviors questionnaire. In the second phase, 88 women with irregular menstruation in phase one had blood tests taken and body composition measured. As a result, Menarche was slightly later in irregular menstruation group. Women with regular menstruation had a mean number of 11.7 menstrual cycles over the past year, 93.0% of them reported a normal menstruation cycle frequency (21-35 days), 95.2% reported a normal duration (2-7 days) and 55.9% of participants had heavy menstrual bleeding. In the irregular menstrual group, there were higher percentages of underweight and obese women as well as more women experiences weight and diet changes. The estimated prevalence rates of PMS and PCOS were 25.5%, 5.2% respectively. This study provides updated basic data about menstrual health among Korean young women but more extensive and sophisticated studies are needed in the future.
