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 major public health problem and the commonest cause of morbidity in reproductive age women. It affects the quality of life of adolescent girls causing decreased academic performance and productivity. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of Primary dysmenorrhea and associated factors among female adolescents in Jinka Town. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from July 30–August 20, 2024. Census was conducted to identify all eligible participants and simple random sampling technique was used to select 562 female adolescents. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed using binary and multivariable logistic regression. Statistical significance was determined at p < 0.05. The prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea was 71.5% with 95% CI (68.0–75.0%), Family history of dysmenorrhea AOR = 1.81 (95% CI (1.15–2.83), having premenstrual syndrome (AOR = 3.13 (95% CI (1.97–4.98)), sleeping ≤ 6 h per day (AOR = 2.73 (95% CI (1.23–6.03)), heavy menstrual periods AOR = 3.35 (95% CI (1.5–7.38)), skipping breakfast (AOR = 3.26 (95% CI (1.31–8.11)) and history of female genital mutilation AOR = 2.97 (95% CI (1.47–6.03)) had statistically significant association with the primary dysmenorrhea. This study found a high prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea. The factors associated with primary dysmenorrhea were family history of dysmenorrhea, the presence of premenstrual syndrome, skipping breakfast, sleeping ≤ 6 h per day, heavy menstrual flow, and history of female genital mutilation. Thus, efforts to prevent primary dysmenorrhea should focus on health education for adolescents and parents on modifiable lifestyle factors such as eating habitual meals regularly, getting adequate rest, and avoiding female genital mutilation.
