1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To identify the risk factors for severe primary dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls and provide evidence for clinical prevention and intervention. Methods: This retrospective study enrolled adolescent girls with primary dysmenorrhea from Jingzhou Central Hospital between January 2022 and December 2023. Participants were divided into severe group and mild-to-moderate group grouped by VAS score (VAS 0-10, 0=no pain, 1-3=mild, 4-6=moderate, 7-10=severe). Demographic, lifestyle, menstrual and laboratory parameters were collected via questionnaires and medical records. Bivariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression were used to screen independent risk factors, and ROC curve was applied to assess model performance. Results: 426 participants were included (158 in severe group, 268 in mild-to-moderate group). Early menarche (≤12 years old), frequent cold food intake (≥3 times/week), high serum PGF2α level and low physical activity level were independent risk factors (all P<0.05). The predictive model yielded an AUC of 0.826 (95% CI: 0.783-0.869), showing good predictive efficiency. Conclusion: Early menarche, frequent cold food intake, high serum PGF2α and low physical activity are independent risk factors for severe primary dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls. Targeted interventions on these factors can help reduce the occurrence of severe dysmenorrhea.
