Effect of audio educational sessions versus self-instructional module on knowledge, practice and behavior for visually impaired adolescent females regarding menstruation.
Trial report in BMC public health, 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
backgroundVisually impaired adolescent females (either completely blind or with partial vision loss) are a vulnerable group who require special attention and care, particularly when they begin menstruation during adolescence.
aimEvaluate the effect of audio educational sessions versus self-instructional module on knowledge, practice and behavior for visually impaired adolescent females regarding menstruation.
methodA randomized controlled trial design was conducted at El-Nor Schools in Port-Said City. Sixty visually impaired adolescent girls who had begun menstruating were randomly assigned to two groups using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Structured Interview Questionnaire, a Health Practices during Menstruation scale, and a Females' Behaviors and Restrictions during Menstruation scale.
resultsThe SIM group's mean score for overall knowledge of menstruation at the post-test and follow-up educational sessions was higher than that of the Audio group, with the differences being statistically significant (P = 0.000). In contrast, the Audio group's mean score for overall menstrual health practices at the post-test and follow-up sessions was higher than that of the SIM group with a statistically significant difference (P = 0.000). Furthermore, Audio group's mean score for overall menstruation-related behaviors at the post-test and follow-up sessions was higher than that of the SIM group with a statistically significant difference (P = 0.000). In addition, a positive correlation was observed between the pre- and post-test total scores of knowledge, health practices, and behaviors in both study groups, with the differences being statistically significant (P ≤ 0.001).
conclusionAudio educational sessions, when combined with a Braille-based self-learning module, are both essential and highly effective in improving menstruation-related knowledge, practices, and behaviors among visually impaired adolescent girls.
trial registrationThe study protocol was registered with the Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Nursing, Port Said University, under code number NUR13, on 7/4/2022.
