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
<p>Introduction: Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) poses a significant concern among adolescents and can arise from bleeding disorders. This study aimed to compare the clinical presentations and treatment of adolescents with HMB, distinguishing those with and without an underlying bleeding disorder.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of adolescent patients presenting with HMB during 2014-2022 at specialized hematology-adolescent clinics in two tertiary referral hospitals in Israel. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Boards.
resultsSeventy-seven adolescents underwent evaluation for HMB, and 19 of them were diagnosed with various bleeding disorders: platelet aggregation defects (5), immune thrombocytopenia (1), Glanzmann thrombasthenia (1), VWD type 1 (5), type 2 A (1), type 3 (3), and coagulation factor deficiencies (3). Notably, 38 patients (49%) were hospitalized. A higher bleeding score (BAT) significantly correlated with hospitalization and a lower hemoglobin level (p < 0.001). We did not find any significant differences between adolescents with or without a bleeding disorder regarding age of presentation, time from menarche, BAT, hemoglobin, or platelet count.
conclusionOur findings revealed the clinical presentations and treatments of adolescents with HMB are similar, regardless of the presence of a bleeding disorder. This emphasizes the importance of thorough evaluation in all adolescents presenting with HMB. </p>.
