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
Background: Menopause and its effects on lifestyle of a woman has now become an important emerging public health issue owing to the global rise in life expectancy. Menopause is not a disease but the symptoms and their severities, can be very challenging and remain largely ignored by the policy makers and physicians. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to find out the factors influencing the severity of menopausal symptoms among post-menopausal females. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted for a period of one year. Data collected using systematic random sampling from 255 post-menopausal women and analysis was performed with Epi-Info 7.2. Chi-square applied as statistical test of significance for the association between severity of menopausal symptoms and qualitative variables. Results: The mean age of the study participants was found to be 53.86 ± 7.15 years. The present study concludes that residing locality, educational status, occupation, certain lifestyle factors and some socio-cultural factors, type of menopause and duration since menopause was found to be statistically significantly related to severity of menopausal symptoms. Conclusion: Large efforts are required to make women aware of menopausal symptoms so that they can seek treatment, if necessary.
