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
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a psychological condition that significantly influences female students' behavior, cognitive ability, and mental health status. It has a critical role in mental health and well-being and in the academic success and professional performance of nursing students.
objectivesThis study aimed to assess the relationship between PMDD, perceived stress levels and sleep quality among female nursing students in Saudi Arabia.
methodsThis study utilized a cross-sectional, correlational, descriptive design. The sample size was 144 students, and we used a convenience sampling technique. Data were collected using the following tools: Demographics and Gynecological Data Sheet, Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Perceived Stress Scale.
resultsThe levels of premenstrual symptoms and sleep disturbances among the participants can be regarded as moderate, whereas the level of perceived stress was found to be at its highest level, with 63.9% of participants experiencing a moderate level and 14.6% reporting severe stress. There was a significant positive correlation between premenstrual symptoms and perceived stress (r = 0.39,
conclusionsPMDD symptoms have a detrimental influence on female students' emotional state; thus, mental health experts play an important role in identifying variables that mitigate the severity of PMDD among female's students.
