Examining the impact of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) on life and relationship quality: An online cross-sectional survey study.
Article in PloS one, 2025. 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
Little is known regarding the impact of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) on specific aspects of life quality within the home, such as spousal/partner relationships. Moreover, the impact of PMDD on the partners of those with the condition has not been investigated. Therefore, the present study examined the ways in which PMDD can affect the perceived life and relationship quality of both those with the condition, and their partners. Across two studies, cross-sectional survey methods were used to compare perceived quality of life and relationship quality between PMDD patients (n = 216) and controls (n = 187), and between PMDD partners (n = 92) and controls (n = 59). In both PMDD patients and their partners, perceived quality of life was lower across most domains compared to controls. Additionally, both PMDD patients and their partners reported lower relationship quality compared to controls, for all domains except love and commitment. Our findings indicate that PMDD has a wide-ranging impact on both the affected individual and their partner. Future clinical research should aim to develop PMDD-specific interventions that support both the person with PMDD and their partner.
