Knowledge, Perceptions, and Acceptance of Menstrual Cups Among Medical and Engineering Students in Chennai: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Menstrual cups are an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional menstrual hygiene products. Despite their advantages, adoption remains limited due to misconceptions and lack of awareness. This study aims to assess and compare acceptance and usage of menstrual cup among female medical and engineering students. Methods: A cross-sectional, survey-based study was conducted among female undergraduate students at SRM University. The study population involves female MBBS and Engineering students. Participants were evaluated using a structured questionnaire assessing their understanding and usage of menstrual cups. Descriptive statistics and independent t-tests were applied to determine statistical significance ( Results: Among 265 participants, comprising 139 female medical students and 126 female engineering students, medical students demonstrated significantly higher scores in compared to engineering students. However, practice levels were not significantly different ( Conclusion: Despite increased awareness menstrual cup, usage is relatively low in both group students. Organized educational programs are needed to promote sustainable menstrual hygiene practices.
