Mapping Menstrual Health Research in France: A Scoping Review of Peer-Reviewed Literature Up to 2024.
Review in International journal of women's 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
Menstrual health is increasingly framed as a multidimensional public issue intersecting with health, education, and gender equality. Yet, national research landscapes remain uneven, shaped by structural neglect, epistemic silences, and sociocultural stigma. France offers a compelling case of such disparities, where academic engagement with menstrual health has only recently gained visibility. This scoping review critically maps the landscape of menstrual health research in France and identifies knowledge gaps. Following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, we analyzed twenty-eight studies retrieved from Medline and Scopus (up to November 2024), covering themes such as menstrual poverty, environmental concerns, cultural representations of menstrual blood, and menopause experiences, involving diverse populations across the life course. While the thematic diversification signals a shifting research agenda, the literature remains fragmented, with limited longitudinal and intervention studies and underrepresentation of marginalized populations. These findings underscore the need for participatory, community-driven approaches and contribute to broader debates on how menstrual health is conceptualized, studied, and translated into policy.
