Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are among the most widely used antidepressants worldwide. They are an effective first-line treatment for depression. Common side effects can be quickly remediated by switching to a different drug, making it easy to miss rare side effects and even causing them to go underreported. This case study examines an instance of uterine bleeding in a postmenopausal woman after starting an antidepressant. A detailed history determined that the medication was the only noticeable change in her daily routine before the onset of bleeding, making it the likely cause. Due to the high index of suspicion, the medication was discontinued, and it was apparent that the bleeding ceased. This phenomenon demonstrated the role of serotonin in potentiating the coagulation cascade. Research on this topic is limited, but there have been other reported cases of similar findings in the past.
