The relationship between spino-pelvic alignment and primary dysmenorrhea.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07058480 (Combined Muscle Energy Technique and Myofascial Chain Stabilization Reduces Menstrual Pain and Improves Pelvic Alignment in Women With Primary Dysmenorrhea), which is not on this 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
Introduction: Most women of reproductive age suffered from the primary dysmenorrhea (PD). Up to date, most studies on the etiology of dysmenorrhea focused on endocrine factors while ignored the effect of spino-pelvic bony anatomy on uterus. In this study, we innovatively shed light on the relationship between primary dysmenorrhea and sagittal spino-pelvic alignment. Materials and Methods: 120 patients diagnosed with primary dysmenorrhea and a control group of 118 healthy volunteers were enrolled into this study. All subjects received the standing full-length posteroanterior plain radiography to evaluate the sagittal spino-pelvic parameters. The visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess pain rating of primary dysmenorrhea patients. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) or Student's t test was performed to measure statistical significance between differences. Results: There was a significant difference in pelvic incidence (PI), sacral slope (SS), lumbar lordosis (LL) and thoracic kyphosis (TK) between PD group and Normal group ( Conclusion: Sagittal spino-pelvic alignment was related to primary dysmenorrhea symptoms. Lower SS and PI angles may contribute to a worsen pain in PD patients.
