Knowledge and practices related to menstruation among tribal adolescent girls.
Article in Industrial psychiatry journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundDespite the fact that every girl has to deal with menstrual hygiene, there is a lack of awareness about the process of menstruation and proper menstrual hygiene among adolescent girls, especially from tribal backgrounds.
aimThe aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and practices related to menstruation among tribal (Munda) adolescent girls. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a community-based cross-sectional study. The sample for the study consisted of 150 girls belonging to Munda tribe in the age group of 13-18 years, recruited by purposive sampling from various schools of Khunti district of Jharkhand state. Interview guide was predeveloped, validated, and used to study the knowledge and practices related to menstruation among adolescent girls. The data were collected by a personal interview of the study subjects.
resultsThe mean age of menarche of the study subjects was 14.1 years. It was evident that only 48.67% of the participants were aware about menstruation before menarche and the most important source of the information about menstruation for them was their friends (53.33%) followed by mothers.
