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
The menstrual period of adolescents with intellectual disabilities is a complex phenomenon as they are a vulnerable group. During this period, both the adolescent and the caregiver are exposed to a lot of discrimination and face emotional, psychological, and socio-economic problems. The study is conducted to determine the experiences of caregivers of adolescent children with intellectual disabilities in menstrual hygiene management. The study is a qualitative research conducted between October 2022 and January 2023. The study sample consisted of 17 caregivers (mothers) of adolescent children with intellectual disabilities living in different provinces of Turkey who were selected through snowball sampling. Data were collected using the "Participant Information Form" and "Semi-structured Interview Form". Collaizzi's phenomenological analysis was used to analyze the data. This study was conducted in accordance with the COREQ Statement Checklist. As a result of the research, five themes were identified: (1) Expected day, (2) Inevitable end, (3) Problems experienced, (4) Communication with caregiver, (5) Search for solutions. It is recommended that health professionals (nurses, child development specialists, etc.) provide training and counseling to caregivers on the best approaches to implement good menstrual hygiene for adolescents with intellectual disabilities.
