The Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Dysmenorrhea in the General Female Population.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: There may be an etiological association between obesity and dysmenorrheal traits. This study aimed to observe the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and dysmenorrhea in a general female population. Methods: Premenopausal adult females (n = 2,805) undergoing health checkups were assessed for data such as the BMI and self-reported severity of dysmenorrhea. The BMI levels were compared according to the severity of dysmenorrhea with adjustment for age, smoking habit, exercise habit, serum lipids, and plasma glucose. Results: The mean BMI level in females with severe dysmenorrhea (n = 278; 23.3 ± 4.5 (standard deviation) kg/m Conclusions: The high-normal BMI level may be seen in severe dysmenorrhea in the general female population. Further research is needed to confirm the findings.
