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: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is defined as the loss of ovarian activity before age 40, resulting in hypoestrogenism, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, amenorrhea, and infertility, significantly impacting women's reproductive and emotional health. This study explores the experiences and reproductive health needs of women with POI in Iran. Methods: A qualitative study using conventional content analysis was conducted. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 20 participants (14 women with POI, 3 specialists, and 3 healthcare providers) from infertility and health care centers in Tehran and Ahvaz, Iran, via purposeful sampling until data saturation. The participants were informed that the interview will be recorded, transcribed verbatim in Persian, and analyzed using MAXQDA 2024 software. Results: Six themes emerged from the data analysis: Psychological Distress and Identity Loss, Compromised Physical and Systemic Health, Deprivation of Reproductive Autonomy, The Experience of Premature Aging, Barriers to Integrated Healthcare, and Lack of Comprehensive Social Support. Conclusion: The findings of this study reveal that the experience of Iranian women with premature ovarian insufficiency extends beyond purely medical dimensions, encompassing deep psychological, social, and legal challenges. These women grapple with feelings such as psychological failure stemming from the loss of fertility and the sensation of aging prematurely. Furthermore, the analysis highlights their "Deprivation of Reproductive Autonomy" and a critical need for comprehensive supportive systems that are not currently accessible, a finding tied directly to the themes of "Barriers to Integrated Healthcare" and "Lack of Comprehensive Social Support."
