A thermal cauterization therapy in dysmenorrhea pain management: A siddha case report.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological condition affecting nearly 70% of adolescent and young adult women in India, often leading to significant physical discomfort and disruption of daily activities. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of Thermal cauterization, a traditional Siddha thermal cauterization therapy, administered to a 23-year-old female medical student with recurrent dysmenorrhea unresponsive to NSAIDs. The patient underwent three sessions of thermal cauterization therapy applied to the umbilical region five days prior to menstruation, followed by a six-month regimen of yoga, pranayamam and dietary modifications. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the WaLIDD score and the Dysmenorrhea Symptom Interference (DSI) Scale, revealing substantial improvements in pain intensity, duration, sleep quality, concentration and physical activity; working ability improved from Grade 3 (always affected) to Grade 1 (almost never affected) and pain distribution was completely resolved. Thus, we show that thermal cauterization therapy, when integrated with lifestyle interventions, offers a reproducible and patient-responsive approach for the effective management of dysmenorrhea.
