1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Immunological dysregulation and inflammation may play a role in the nature of menstruation. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can produce a systemic inflammatory reaction that involves extrapulmonary organs and can also affect the immune system. This study aimed to analyze changes in the menstrual cycle in coronavirus (COVID)-positive women of reproductive age. Methods: The data of 35 women of reproductive age were collected telephonically from said patients admitted to the COVID Health Centre (CHC) ward of All India Institute of Ayurveda, New Delhi, during June 20, 2020, to October 31, 2020. Purposive sampling was used for data collection. Wyatt menstrual pictogram and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to assess the bleeding pattern and pain during menstruation, respectively. Results: Clinically, changes were noted in post-COVID menstruation such as irregularity, polymenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, clots, and menstrual flow in days. However, all results were statistically non-significant. But significant ( Conclusion: Menstrual changes were observed in COVID-19-positive women belonging to the reproductive age group.
