1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe study aimed to investigate the relationship between menstrual disorders and education in women with intractable epilepsy.

methodThis was a descriptive-analytical study. Statistical population consisted of all female patients with intractable epilepsy in 15-45 age group who visited the third department of epilepsy in Ayatollah Kashani Hospital. The sample size was 380. They were selected using simple random sampling. A questionnaire was distributed among the patients to collect information on education, incidence and type of current menstrual disorder (each type of menstrual disorder was explained to the participants). Then, the relationship between education and prevalence of menstrual disorders in these women was investigated.

findingsAnalysis of Spearman correlation coefficient showed a significant and negative correlation between education and menstrual disorder (P≤0.05). Analysis of multivariate logistic regression also showed a significant relationship between education and types of menstrual disorders. There was also a significant relationship between education and regular and irregular menstruation (P≤0.05).

conclusionThere is a significant relationship between education and menstrual disorders in women with intractable epilepsy, and the higher education level indicates less prevalent menstrual irregularities.
