Development and evaluation of an intervention package to alleviate the psychological effects of premenstrual syndrome in adolescent girls.
Trial report in BMC women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a therapeutic package combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and a gender-sensitive approach to reduce the psychological and emotional challenges of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) in adolescent girls. METHODOLOGY: Using a quasi-experimental design, 30 adolescent girls from Saqqez, Iran, were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 15) or a control group (n = 15). The intervention group participated in a researcher-developed group therapy program over 10 sessions, focusing on reducing rumination and pain-related catastrophic thinking. Assessments were conducted pre-test, post-test, and at follow-up using validated psychological scales. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA.
resultsThe intervention significantly reduced rumination and pain catastrophizing in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). These effects were sustained at follow-up, indicating the intervention's lasting impact on improving cognitive and emotional regulation.
conclusionThe findings demonstrate that a therapeutic package integrating CBT, Narrative Therapy, and cultural sensitivity can effectively alleviate PMS-related psychological symptoms in adolescent girls. This approach holds promise for broader applications in educational and counseling settings to enhance adolescent well-being.
