Abnormal uterine bleeding and associated factors: a cross-sectional study in high-performance Peruvian athletes.
Article in BMJ open sport & exercise medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a problem that affects women and can cause outcomes such as anaemia, affecting women's quality of life. In high-performance athletes, this problem can be further exacerbated by intense physical activity, strict nutritional regimens and physical stress. Hypothesis: There are factors that increase the risk of occurrence of AUB in high-performance Peruvian athletes. Study design: Cross-sectional study. Level of evidence: Level 4. Methods: We applied an online questionnaire with questions to identify AUB according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics criteria, demographic characteristics, sport practised and evaluation of the risk of an eating disorder using the Eating Attitudes Test questionnaire. We used a generalised linear model to identify factors associated with AUB. Results: We evaluated 101 participants whose mean age was 22.3±4.3 years. The body mass index had a mean of 22.6±2.4 kg/m Conclusion: We found a high frequency of AUB in high-performance Peruvian athletes, especially in those who practice anaerobic and resistance sports. Clinical relevance: High-performance female athletes health must be evaluated periodically, and immediate actions are taken to control and treat AUB.
