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
objectiveTo assess the prevalence and associations between period poverty and depressive symptoms among college students with food and/or housing insecurity in the University of Hawai'i system. Period poverty is an important public health concern within the USA and has been linked with poor mental health among university students in prior research.
methodsAn anonymous, online survey was conducted in February-March, 2023, with college students in Hawai'i (N = 462) through an academic-community partnership. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regressions assessed relationships between period poverty and depressive symptoms, stratified by food insecurity and housing.
resultsNearly 43% (n = 199) of students (N =462) reported past-year period poverty and 28% reported moderate/severe depressive symptoms. Among women with food insecurity and/or housing insecurity, those experiencing period poverty were nearly two times more likely to report depressive symptoms (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.86, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03-3.40; aOR 1.98, 95% CI 1.10-3.40, respectively) compared with those without period poverty.
conclusionPeriod poverty may be an added mental health burden for those experiencing other forms of basic needs insecurity. Understanding the impact of period poverty on students' well-being is critical to implementing effective policies and interventions to foster student success.
