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
backgroundWomen of all ages are susceptible to abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), a relatively frequent gynecological issue. In the gynecology outpatient department, abnormal uterine bleeding is a problem that affects one-third of the patients, making them feel less financially secure and have a lower quality of life. Our study aimed to determine the endometrial histological patterns and factors associated with abnormal uterine bleeding among women seeking gynecological services from referral hospitals in western Uganda.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2023 to September 2023. We systematically enrolled 361 participants after getting consent. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information needed for analysis. The endometrial samples were collected immediately from eligible patients with Abnormal Uterine bleeding and taken to the histopathology laboratory for examination. Descriptive statistics followed by binary logistic regression were conducted to achieve the study objectives.
resultsThe study enrolled 361 participants with the mean age was 32.7 years (SD = 12.5). Of the total participants, 54(14.96%) had Abnormal Uterine bleeding. The common endometrial histological patterns among women with Abnormal uterine bleeding were; proliferative endometrium 21(38.9%), simple endometrial hyperplasia without atypia 11(20.4%), and secretory Endometrium 6 (11.1%). Women with BMI ranging between 25 and 29.9 [aOR = 5.61 (1.42-22.19), p = 0.014], those with a history of genital infection in the past 1 year [aOR = 2.49 (1.2-5.13),p = 0.013], those who were nulliparous [ aOR = 13.31( 4.94-35.82), p = 0.001], Primiparous [aOR = 4.32( 1.83-10.16), p ≤ 0.001] and women who reported HIV positive serostatus [aOR = 3.65(1.74-7.66), p = 0.001] were independently associated with Abnormal Uterine Bleeding at Fort portal Regional Referral hospital. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The prevalence of AUB was within the global range. Simple endometrial hyperplasia without atypia and chronic endometritis were the commonest pathological patterns. BMI, History of genital infection, nulliparity, primiparity, and HIV serostatus were the factors that were independently associated with abnormal uterine bleeding. There is a need for routine endometrial sampling for all eligible women with abnormal uterine bleeding at FRRH.
