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.

The goal is to provide data for developing treatment and prevention strategies for PD in the community, particularly among female university students. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on all female nursing students at Hanoi Medical University from January 15th to 31st, 2024. A simple random sampling method was used to select 341 participants. The data were collected using a paper survey and analyzed using SPSS software. The chi-square test was used to compare proportions, and difference rates along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were applied to evaluate associations between variables. Results: The majority of the students were aged 20 years or older, accounting for 72.8%. Most students (73.9%) reported menarche between the ages of 13 and 18. Out of 341 students, the prevalence of PD was 78.6%. Among them, 68.7% reported moderate to severe pain. PD was significantly associated with a family history of menstrual pain ( Conclusion: PDis highly prevalent among female nursing students and negatively affects their quality of life. Several modifiable and non-modifiable factors are associated were found to be significantly associated with PD.
