Comparative effect of Kegel and Pelvic rocking exercises on primary dysmenorrhea: A quasi-experimental study.

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
Primary dysmenorrhea is a common cause of menstrual pain among adolescents, affecting daily activities and quality of life. Our quasi-experimental study assessed 300 adolescent girls, comparing the effect of Kegel exercises (n=150) and pelvic rocking exercises (n=150) over four menstrual cycles. Pain intensity was measured using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale before and after the intervention. Both groups showed statistically significant reductions in pain scores (p<0.001), with greater mean reduction in the Kegel group (2.59 ± 0.84) compared to the pelvic rocking group (1.55 ± 0.78). Categorical analysis revealed a higher shift from severe to mild pain among participants performing Kegel exercises. Thus, we show that pelvic floor strengthening offers superior pain relief and should be incorporated into adolescent health programs to reduce analgesic use and improve quality of life.
