Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundGynecological morbidities, particularly menstrual disorders, are a leading cause of healthcare consultations among young, unmarried women globally. However, comprehensive data on their prevalence and treatment-seeking behaviors in this demographic, especially in Saudi Arabia, are limited. This study aimed to characterize the pattern of gynecological morbidities among young unmarried women attending clinics at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
methodsA cross-sectional study analyzed medical records of 195 unmarried women aged 14-25 years presenting with gynecological issues at KAMC between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2022. Data collected included demographics, BMI, comorbidities, gynecological and surgical history, chronic medications, presenting complaints, complaint duration, diagnoses, and management plans.
resultsOf the 195, 110 participants (56.41%) had at least one medical condition. The most frequent complaint was of irregular menstrual cycle, reported by 51 patients (26.2%). Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was diagnosed in 76 patients (39%), followed by ovarian masses. The most frequent management plan involved further investigations in 68 cases (34.9%), followed by oral contraceptive pill prescriptions. A significant association was found between the BMI category and PCOS diagnosis.
conclusionThis study provides insight into gynecological health disparities among young unmarried women in Saudi Arabia. The findings highlight the high prevalence of comorbidities and PCOS within this cohort. Understanding these patterns can inform policy changes and resource allocation, ultimately improving gynecological healthcare delivery and outcomes for young unmarried women in Saudi Arabia.
