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
Context: Uterine disorders are among the most prevalent gynecological problems in women. Persian Medicine (PM) has long provided herbal approaches for managing such conditions, based on temperament theory and humoral balance. Objectives: This study aimed to identify medicinal plants used in PM for the treatment of uterine disorders and to assess their pharmacological evidence. Methods: A literature review of classical PM texts, including Makhzan al-Adwiyyah and Taqwim al-Abdan, was conducted to extract herbs recommended for uterine ailments. Plant names, traditional indications, and temperament properties were documented. Modern pharmacological evidence for each plant was then retrieved from scientific databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science). Results: A total of 97 plant species belonging to 39 botanical families were identified. Most herbs exhibited hot and dry temperaments, aligning with the PM view that uterine disorders are linked to cold-moist imbalances. Common traditional indications included dysmenorrhea, endometrial inflammation, discharge, and cold uterus. In this study, the pharmacological findings for 10 key species, including Conclusions: Several PM herbs show promising potential for treating uterine disorders and align with modern pharmacological mechanisms. These findings provide a basis for further research and may support the development of evidence-based herbal therapies for women's reproductive health. Among the most frequently cited species,
