The link between tinnitus and menstrual cycle disorders in premenopausal women.

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
This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the association between tinnitus and menstrual cycle disorders in premenopausal women. A total of 558 participants completed a comprehensive questionnaire covering demographics, tinnitus, and gynecological/obstetric history. The analysis investigated the correlation between tinnitus and various menstrual disorders, including dysmenorrhea (primary, secondary, or premenstrual syndrome), as well as different menstrual cycle patterns (regular, hypomenorrhea, menorrhagia, oligomenorrhea, or polymenorrhea). Among the participants, 33% reported experiencing tinnitus, with 74.4% experiencing dysmenorrhea. The most prevalent pathological menstrual pattern was menorrhagia (20%), followed by hypomenorrhea (11.11%). The results revealed a significant increase in tinnitus among premenopausal women with secondary dysmenorrhea (p value < 0.001) or menorrhagia (p value < 0.002) compared with those without tinnitus. Adjustment for confounding variables such as age, income, and psychological health problems did not alter the significant correlations between tinnitus and secondary dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia. Further research is needed to elucidate the nature of this relationship and its underlying mechanisms. Both tinnitus and menstrual disorders can have substantial impacts on the well-being of affected women, and a deeper understanding of these issues could pave the way for improvements in their health care.
