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.

Abstract
backgroundDemographic, social, and self-care factors can significantly impact the quality of life of menopausal women. Self-care abilities are regarded as pivotal mechanisms for enhancing quality of life and reducing substantial healthcare costs for elderly individuals. The present study investigated the impact of COVID-19 and self-care on the quality of life of postmenopausal women. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study involved 174 menopausal women who visited healthcare centers in Bojnurd, Iran, in 2023, using a two-stage (stratified and cluster) sampling approach. The inclusion criteria for sampling were as follows: 1 year or more since the last menstrual period, natural menopause, age 45 to 65 years, literacy, and no history of mental illness or psychiatric drug use in the past 6 months. The research tools included a self-designed demographic-social questionnaire, a self-care questionnaire tailored for Iranian menopausal women, and a menopause-specific quality-of-life questionnaire (MENQOL). After completing the questionnaires, data analysis was performed with a significance level of 0.05 using descriptive and inferential statistical methods.
resultsThe mean age at menopause was 49.69 years, with a standard deviation of 3.51 years. Most participants were married, had no university education, or were homemakers. Self-care had a statistically significant relationship with quality of life (
conclusionAccording to obtained results, there was a relationship between self-care and quality of life in menopause women. Higher education and employment among menopausal women are associated with improved quality of life. It is recommended that studies with a larger sample size be conducted in order to be more generalizable.
