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

methodsFor the induction of dysmenorrhea, diethylstilbestrol (s.c.) and oxytocin (i.p.) were used.

resultsThe model effectively reproduced hypercontractility and impaired uterine relaxation. The in vivo evaluations demonstrated increased pain responses (DysP group = 119 ± 6.9; control group CG = 3.0 ± 1.0), which were partially attenuated by standard medications (scopolamine/dipyrone and ibuprofen). In vitro assays revealed greater contractile reactivity when compared to that in the control group, in the DysP group, using oxytocin (pEC

conclusionsThese findings suggest that the new virgin rat model is capable of replicating key aspects of the clinical features of DysP in humans and offers a valuable tool for studying its pathogenetic mechanisms and testing potential therapeutic agents.
