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
Objective: This study aims to analyze the correlation between salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) and stress in adolescents with premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and to assess the predictive ability of sAA levels and stress for PMS. Materials and methods: Sixty-two adolescents with and without PMS (31 each) were grouped based on their PMS status, measured using the Shortened Premenstrual Assessment Form (SPAF). Stress was measured using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). The levels of sAA were measured using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: Stress and PMS expressed a significant positive correlation (p=0.001; r=0.66). sAA levels and PMS showed a significant positive correlation (p<0.05; r=0.42). The level of sAA in adolescents with PMS was 23.28±12.02 ng/mL, almost twice higher than in adolescents without PMS (12.10±7.5 ng/mL). The cut-off value of sAA level on PMS was ≥15.02 ng/mL with a sensitivity and specificity of 67.7%. The level of sAA and stress were significantly able to predict PMS (p<0.001). The correlation value of SAA levels and stress with PMS is positive (r=0.705), suggesting they can predict PMS by 49.7% (R Conclusion: There is a positive relationship between sAA levels and stress in adolescents with PMS. SAA levels and stress were able to predict PMS in adolescents with an accuracy of 49.7%.
