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
introductionMenopausal women often face challenges in choosing appropriate interventions to mitigate distressing menopause symptoms, primarily due to concerns about treatment suitability. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the effect of shared decision-making (SDM) on conflict and regret in menopause symptoms management.
methodThis interventional study was conducted on 44 menopausal women aged ≥ 45 years in Tabriz, Iran, from September 2020 to January 2021. Subjects were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 22), which received SDM-based counseling along with a decision aid (DA) booklet, and control (n = 22) groups. The data were collected using a socio-demographic and obstetric characteristics checklist, awareness of the menopause symptoms management strategies, decisional conflict, and regret. The intergroup differences were compared employing an independent t-test and ANCOVA.
resultsThe mean score of decision conflict [Mean difference (MD): -2.07, 95% CI: -29.65 to -11.92, P = 0.001] and decision regret [MD: -1.25, 95% CI: -1.64 to 0.64, P = 0.03] significantly reduced in the intervention group compared to the control group after the intervention. Additionally, a statistically significant increase in the mean score of women's awareness was observed in the intervention group compared to the control group following the intervention [(Hormone Therapy: MD: 3.38, 95% CI: 1.01 to 5.57, P = 0.006) (Natural Products: MD: 2.44, 95% CI: 0.93 to 3.94, P = 0.002)].
conclusionThe results indicated the effect of SDM-based counseling on improving women's awareness of the menopause symptoms management strategies and reducing the decisional conflict and regret.
