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
BackgroundThe psychological well-being of Egyptian women is shaped by entrenched social, religious, and cultural norms, often resulting in heightened stress and internalized distress. Despite advances in women's education and activism, empirical work linking everyday sexist discrimination to mental health outcomes in Egypt remains limited.ObjectivesTo assess gender differences in multidimensional psychopathology in Egypt and to examine how the frequency and type of sexist experiences relate to mental health symptom severity among Egyptian women.DesignQuantitative, community-based cross-sectional survey.MethodsA structured survey was administered to 310 adults-including 195 women-recruited in Cairo and surrounding regions. Validated instruments measured multiple mental health domains (including depression, anxiety, anger, and somatic symptoms) and the frequency of sexist events using the Schedule of Sexist Events. Bonferroni-corrected nonparametric tests and multivariate linear regressions were conducted to evaluate gender differences and associations between sexist discrimination and symptom severity.ResultsWomen reported significantly higher anger, anxiety, and somatic symptoms than men, whereas no other demographic variables predicted symptom burden after correction. Among women, more frequent sexist experiences-particularly sexual degradation and sexism in close relationships-were robustly associated with greater severity across all assessed mental health domains (R
