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.

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
Introduction: Women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) show emotional, physical, and behavioral symptoms regularly every month. Mild physiological symptoms of PMS appear in 95% of women at their reproductive age. Aim: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of PMS and evaluate the efficacy of a 12-week yogic intervention in managing PMS among school-going adolescent girls in Punjab, India. Materials and Methods: A total of 450 adolescent girls were screened for PMS prevalence using a standardized questionnaire. For assessing efficacy, 100 participants diagnosed with PMS were recruited using a purposive sampling technique, with 50 in the yoga group and 50 in the control group. PMS severity was assessed thrice: baseline and after 8 and 12 weeks of yogic intervention. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software to evaluate significant differences between groups. Results: The majority of adolescents (68%) experienced varying degrees of PMS. A total of 94 adolescent girls completed the study, with 48 in the yoga group and 46 in the control group. Yogic intervention significantly reduced PMS severity in the yoga group ( Conclusion: This study suggested yoga as a promising holistic approach for managing PMS-related discomfort and distress.
