Cognitive function evaluation in premenstrual syndrome during the follicular and luteal phases using near-infrared spectroscopy.
Article in Comprehensive psychoneuroendocrinology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
Background: Many adult females experience periodic mental and physical symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Diagnosis of PMS is generally based on self-reported symptoms over several menstrual cycles, but there are concerns about its accuracy and duration. It is well known that decreased cognitive function is one of the symptoms of PMS. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is one of the methods for imaging brain activity, similar to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and positron emission tomography (PET). NIRS has been used to assess cognitive function decline demonstrated by decline in brain activity. However, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no report characterizing brain activity pattern in females with PMS during the luteal and follicular phases separately. Objective: We aimed to characterize the cognitive function of females with PMS during the follicular and luteal phases using NIRS. Methods: The level of brain activity in the prefrontal cortex was detected with NIRS while PMS women were performing cognitive tasks. NIRS detected brain activity by measuring the oxy-hemoglobin and deoxy-hemoglobin levels. Participants were females between the ages of 20 and 25 with PMS (n = 11) and without PMS (n = 11). During the participants' follicular and luteal phases, the participants were asked to perform the cognitive task; an N-back task ( Results: The correct response rate on the Conclusion: The cognitive decline during the luteal phase in participants with PMS was detected by NIRS with significant differences from participants without PMS. The difference was observed only during the luteal phase, not in the follicular phase and were related to the increase in negative mood. These results may provide an objective method for diagnosing PMS based on brain activity. We believe that the use of instruments (e.g., NIRS, MRI, EEG … etc.) to detect cognitive function decline will lead to rapid and reliable diagnosis of PMS and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
