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

Menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) is essential for adolescent girls, yet many face challenges in accessing education and resources. This systematic review assesses the impact of various MHH interventions on knowledge, attitudes, and practices. A search of studies from 2000 to 2022 identified 10 relevant studies evaluating structured teaching programs, peer education, and community-based interventions. Results showed significant improvements in MHH awareness and behavior, particularly with peer-led and school-based programs. However, gaps persist, especially in rural areas. Community and school engagement are key to effective interventions, with future efforts needed to address awareness gaps in underserved populations.
