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
backgroundPremenstrual tension (PMT) syndrome is a combination of a disruptive set of physical and emotional symptoms that women experience cyclically before the start of each menstrual period. It may impede day-to-day activities and can vary in severity.
objectivesThis study aims to investigate the factors associated with PMT and explore their influences, along with family support, on the academic performance of female university students in Bangladesh.
designThis study used a cross-sectional design.
methodsThis study is based on primary data collected from 765 female students of Jahangirnagar University, Bangladesh. A well-structured questionnaire, having sociodemographic information, PMT rating scale, and APGAR family function scale. Descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, Monte Carlo approximation test, multivariable logistic regression, and structural equation modeling (SEM) were employed for data analysis.
resultsThe findings revealed that 115 (15.03%) respondents demonstrated significant PMT symptoms, of which 54% reported that PMT had an impact on their academic performance, and 67% reported experiencing physical issues. This study also found that family support negatively influences PMT (standardized path coefficient = -0.23). The SEM path analysis indicates that all hypothesized relationships are statistically significant at the 5% level, leading to the rejection of the corresponding null hypotheses. PMT is positively associated with academic performance and is statistically significant (β = 0.505,
conclusionThe findings indicate that strong family support can help alleviate PMT, potentially benefiting students' academic performance. PMT is also associated with family dysfunction and chronic illness. Overall, family care and health awareness play an important role in supporting students' academic success and overall well-being.
