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

Background: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common disease that negatively impacts women's quality of life. This study aimed to compare the effects of the Vitagnus, soy, and Vitagnus-soy combination on PMS in students. Methods: This triple-blind, three-arm clinical trial was conducted on 108 students with PMS living in the dormitory of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences from September 2022 to October 2023. Eligible participants diagnosed with moderate to severe PMS over two menstrual cycles, using the Calendar of Premenstrual Experiences form, were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Each participant took one daily capsule of Vitagnus (N=36), Soy (N=36), or a Vitagnus-soy combination (N=36) for two menstrual cycles. The data were analyzed using the ANOVA test (or Kruskal-Wallis test) with post-hoc tests based on Tukey (or Bonferroni correction), Chi-square test (or Fisher's exact method), and Wilcoxon test analysis (or paired t-test) in SPSS software version 26 with the significance level of P<0.05. Results: In all three groups, PMS symptoms significantly reduced after the intervention (P<0.001). The Vitagnus-soy combination was more effective than either Soy or Vitagnus group in decreasing psychological (P<0.001) and total PMS symptoms (P<0.001). Vitagnus-soy combination had no statistically significant difference in decreasing physical PMS symptoms compared to Soy (P>0.999), but it was more effective than Vitagnus (P<0.001). Conclusion: The Vitagnus-soy combination was more effective in alleviating PMS psychological and total symptoms than using either Soy or Vitagnus alone, making it a recommended option for reducing PMS symptoms.
