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
Background: Women experience at least one of the Symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) during the menstrual cycle. The present study aimed to determine the factors that influence PMS occurrence and its severity in the medical students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 369 undergraduate female students of Maragheh University of Medical Sciences, Iran, between September 2021 and April 2022. The sampling method was random and participants were recruited through public announcements. The collected data included the provisional diagnosis of premenstrual syndrome, the Iranian version of Premenstrual Syndrome Screening Tool (PSST), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and the self-reported measurement of weight and height. All data and questionnaires were designed and then completed online by participants. The multivariable logistic regression analysis determined the potential predictors of PMS, and p-values less than 0.05 were considered significant. Results: About 70% of participants had PMS. According to the PSST, 69% of them were positive in terms of the severity of PMS. There was a significant correlation between PMS and the severity of PMS symptoms (p<0.001), BMI (p=0.031), and dietary fat (p=0.013). The odds ratio for PMS, BMI, and dietary fat was 10.314, 1.073, and 1.008, respectively. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that among lifestyle factors, dietary fat and BMI play a significant role in premenstrual syndrome. Future studies are needed to identify other factors influencing its occurrence and to propose approaches for improving the quality of life of female medical students during their lifespan.
