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
During menopause, women experience major changes, including the onset of aging as a natural and inevitable event. The present study aimed to explore and explain the process of aging perception during menopausal transition. This study was a qualitative grounded theory research, which was going to be implemented in 2019-2020 on 18 Baluch women settled in the Sistan & Baluchestan province in South-East Iran and among midlife or older menopause experienced women. Sampling was started first by Purposive sampling, and then it was performed with theoretic sampling. Data analysis was performed according to Corbin and Straus's approach (2015) in four phases: (1) identifying and developing concepts; (2) analyzing data for the context; (3) entering the process stage into analysis; and (4) integrating categories to build a theory. In this study, seven main categories were obtained: "Sunset of youth", "aging as the other side of the coin of menopause", "Weaving a cocoon", "aging as a mental trap", "social acceptance", "aging domino", and "feeling of transcendence". It seems that menopause plays an important role in Baluch women's view toward aging. The practical results of this study can be applied to better understand the middle-aged and older Baluch women's attitudes toward aging. Also study shows a new evolutionary and situational perspective on the lives of middle-aged menopausal Baluch women. Baluch women in menopause accept the sunset of youth and look forward to experiencing the Feeling of transcendence. Identify and respond to their needs by developing and establishing health policies to change their negative attitudes.
