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
backgroundMany women may change their eating behaviors and exhibit different behaviors during their premenstrual period. Although there are studies evaluating the nutritional status of women with premenstrual syndrome in the literature, a limited number of studies evaluate the eating behaviors of these women. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms, anthropometric measurements, and eating behaviors in women of childbearing age.
methodsThe study was conducted with 351 adult women aged 18-49 years. Data were collected through a face-to-face questionnaire form. Participants' sociodemographic characteristics, eating behaviors, and PMS symptoms were determined using a questionnaire. In addition, the participants' anthropometric measurements (body weight, height, and waist circumference) were taken. The Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ) was used to evaluate eating behaviors. The premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS) was used to determine the severity of PMS.
resultsIndividuals with PMS-positive had higher scores for uncontrolled eating, emotional eating, and cognitive restriction than PMS-negative (p < 0.05). It was determined that age, body mass index (BMI), and Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS) total score affected uncontrolled eating and emotional eating (p < 0.05). BMI and PMSS total score were determined to affect cognitive restriction (p < 0.05).
conclusionsIn conclusion, the present study showed that PMS affects eating behaviors in adult women. Both PMS and eating disorders are factors that can negatively affect daily life. Therefore, it is important to investigate and correctly define the relationship between them in terms of increasing women's quality of life. Comprehensive intervention studies are also needed in this regard. We think that our study can shed light on these further studies.
