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
A high percentage of women who undergo the transition to postmenopause experience both menopausal symptoms and genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). However, GSM is often underdiagnosed. This research aims to identify risk factors that may influence the number of GSM symptoms and whether they cause distress in Taiwanese women > 45 years of age who experienced at least one GSM symptom. Data were collected using a self-developed questionnaire, the Taiwanese Greene Climacteric Scale, and the Genitourinary Symptoms Scale. Participants reported a low frequency and low level of distress related to menopause symptoms (14.33 ± 9.12; 10.75 ± 10.01, respectively) with an average of 3.64 genitourinary symptoms experienced. The majority of participants (59.7%) reported experiencing distress regarding GSM. Multivariate analyses indicated that the distress level of menopause symptoms (p < 0.001), distress caused by genitourinary symptoms (p < 0.001), BMI > 24.0 kg/m
