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
Introduction Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) are conditions marked by a range of emotional, behavioral, and physical symptoms that can interfere with daily functioning. Among college students, who are already navigating academic pressure and lifestyle transitions, these symptoms may significantly influence well-being and engagement. Objective The objective of the study is to determine the prevalence and severity of PMS and PMDD among female college students and assess their impact on academic performance and engagement. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 227 female students (18-25 years) from Dr. S. N. Medical College, Jodhpur, and affiliated colleges. Participants completed a validated premenstrual symptom questionnaire, and academic engagement was assessed through self-reported performance metrics. Statistical analysis included chi-squared tests and regression analysis; p-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results While no significant association was observed between PMS/PMDD severity and academic performance (χ² = 3.307, p = 0.191), severe PMS was significantly linked to emotional (anger, anxiety, and depression), behavioral (concentration issues, hypersomnia), and social factors (impact on family, social life, and responsibilities) (p < 0.001 for all). Conclusion Although academic performance remained unaffected by PMS and PMDD, these conditions significantly influenced the emotional and behavioral aspects of students' lives. This underscores the importance of psychological support and awareness strategies to promote student wellness.
