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: A menopausal transition is a stressful event in a woman's life affecting health and quality of life. Spousal awareness of menopausal changes can help them support their wives in coping with the menopausal transition. No studies have explored men's awareness of menopause in India. Therefore, this study aimed to find the men's awareness of menopause and its associated factors. The study also explored men's awareness of the management of symptoms and partner support. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study of husbands of menopausal women aged 45-60 years in eastern India evaluated their awareness of menopause by a structured questionnaire. A semistructured interview schedule assessed the men's awareness of menopause, management of symptoms, and partner support. Results: Four hundred and twenty consenting men fulfilling inclusion criteria were recruited for the study. The mean age of the husband was 50.7 ± 3.9 years. The mean age of the wife was 56.6 ± 4.4 years. Most men reported symptoms of joint pain (69.3%), low energy level (68.8%), decreased physical strength (63.3%), tiredness (61%), and low backache (51%) in their wives. The overall knowledge of menopause among husbands was inadequate (91.42%). Men reported that their wives avoiding sexual intimacy (85.7%), irritability (58.6%), and mood swings (43.1%) affected their marital relationship. The husband's knowledge was associated with education ( Conclusion: Indian husbands lacked information on menopause. Men need information on menopause to support their menopausal spouses.
