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.

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: Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a specific treatment that uses hormones to support or replace hormones in the body. It is often used to manage common menopausal symptoms in women, including physical and mental discomfort. Aim: To explore women's experience with HRT. Methods: This qualitative study utilized phenomenological design to capture the experience of menopausal women. In-depth interviews were conducted with purposive sampling, guided by a semi-structured questionnaire. Fifteen postmenopausal women were selected as the study sample during their visit to the out-patient department. This research was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pradyumna Bal Memorial Hospital in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Results: Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, translated, and coded for thematic analysis to find themes. After interpreting the data, four main themes were derived. Four key themes emerged from the data: (1) Impression on initial alarm, (2) Positive aspects of HRT, (3) Familial aid and support, and (4) Effects on lifestyle. Conclusion: This study seeks to gain insight into the impact of this treatment option on the physical and emotional well-being of women by exploring into their feelings and problems associated with HRT.
