1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Menopause poses unique physical and psychological challenges, especially for obese women, impacting quality of life across menopausal stages. This study evaluates a 12-week obesity educator program on body composition, menopausal symptoms, and psychological well-being among pre-, peri-, and post-menopausal obese women in Delhi NCR, India. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted with 291 obese women (97 per menopausal stage) assessing anthropometric measures, menopausal symptoms via the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS), and psychological well-being using the Well-being Questionnaire (W-BQ12). Data were analyzed using paired t-tests, ANCOVA, Pearson's correlation, and regression analysis. Results: The intervention led to significant weight reduction across all groups (3.8-4.5 kg, Conclusion: The obesity educator program effectively improved body composition, glycemic control, and well-being across menopausal stages, highlighting the value of personalized interventions for menopausal health management.
