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
backgroundDespite high number of visited cases, there are no certain therapeutic guidelines for mastalgia. Generally pain is associated with poor quality of life in all dimensions. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of healthy lifestyle promotion intervention on the quality of life in cyclic mastalgia.
methodsThis study was a randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted on women suffering from cyclic mastalgia at the age of 20 and older before menopausal age referred to the health centers of Karaj,Iran from September 2017 to August 2018. The participants were randomly assigned to intervention (N=40) and control groups (N=40). Intervention was carried out in two 46-minute sessions and two 90-minute sessions for the intervention group. The quality of life was assessed before and after the intervention in both groups using the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF). The data were analyzed through SPSS statistical software(version 21) using independent sample t-test, Chi-square,and Paired t-test. Besides, P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
resultsBefore the intervention, both groups were matched in terms of marital status, educational level, occupation, history of breastfeeding, and mean scores of quality of life (P>0.05). After the intervention, the mean score of life quality in physical, social, environmental, and general health dimensions in the intervention group increased significantly compared to the control group (P>0.001). This difference was not statistically significant in the mental health dimension (P=0.086).
conclusionThe present study indicated that healthy lifestyle promotion intervention could improve the quality of life of women with cyclic mastalgia.
