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: To analyse the effect of concurrent training after 4 months of intervention compared to the control group on the symptomatology of menopause, symptoms of depression, sexual function, and aging perspective of women during menopause. Material and methods: This is a randomized 2-arm clinical trial. A total of 42 menopausal women (53.21 ±3.65 years of age) were included. Questionnaires related to symptoms of menopause (menopause rating scale - MRS), depression (hospital anxiety and depression scale), sexual function (female sexual function index), and aging perspective (Sheppard inventory) were applied. Intention-to-treat and protocol adherence analysis were performed. Results: In the analysis by protocol, there was an improvement in menopausal symptoms in all domains of the MRS, specifically somatic symptoms ( Conclusions: Concurrent training was shown to be effective for improving the symptomatology of menopause, depression, sexual function and happiness in menopause.
