Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common concern among reproductive-age women, significantly affecting productivity, quality of life, and social interactions. In Ethiopia, research on abnormal uterine bleeding is limited, and the factors influencing its occurrence are not well understood. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of, abnormal uterine bleeding, and its associated factors among reproductive-age women in Woldia City, Ethiopia. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Woldia City from May 3 to June 30, 2023. A total of 1,200 reproductive-age women participated in the study. A simple random sampling technique was used to recruit participants. A pre-tested, structured interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data, which were entered into Epi Data 6.4 and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and binary logistic regression was used to assess associations. Variables with a p-value < 0.05 at 95% CI in multivariate logistic regression were considered significant. A total of 1200 women participated, with a response rate of 97.4%. Of the participants, 36.5% (95% CI: 33.8-39.3%) reported AUB, with heavy menstrual bleeding being the most common pattern. Statistically significant associations were found between AUB and late reproductive age (AOR = 4.11, 95% CI: 2.99-5.63), regular smoking (AOR = 1.78, 95% CI: 1.04-3.05), hypertension (AOR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.13-4.47), and high-stress levels (AOR = 4.69, 95% CI: 3.57-6.19). This study found a high prevalence of AUB, with heavy menstrual bleeding as the predominant pattern. Advanced age, hypertension, regular smoking, and high-stress levels were significantly associated with AUB. Women should adopt healthier lifestyles, including managing blood pressure, reducing stress, and quitting smoking to help prevent Abnormal uterine bleeding.
