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
Background: The Indian population exhibits distinct anthropometric characteristics compared to western populations, necessitating the establishment of region-specific normative values for uterine and ovarian dimensions. Objective: This study aimed to derive normative reference ranges for ovarian volume, follicle number, uterine size, and endometrial thickness among Indian women of reproductive age and its correlation with anthropometric and hormonal parameters. Methodology: A cross-sectional, community-based study was conducted among 1648 Indian women aged 18-40 years from diverse geographic regions. Participants were selected using multistage sampling. Pregnant or lactating women and women with known gynecological disorders were excluded. Clinical, biochemical, hormonal and radiological assessments were obtained using standardized protocols. Results: The mean uterine length measured via transabdominal ultrasound was 7.09 ± 1.64 cm, and transvaginal ultrasound showed a length of 7.11 ± 1.83 cm. Ovarian volumes were 7.06 ± 3.44 cc (left) and 7.26 ± 3.29 cc (right) using transabdominal scans, while transvaginal scans showed 7.12 ± 3.38 cc (left) and 7.45 ± 3.28 cc (right). The mean follicle count was 6.05 ± 3.18 (left ovary) and 5.89 ± 3.03 (right ovary) via transabdominal ultrasound. Ovarian volume was negatively correlated with age, while positively correlated with body weight, height, hirsutism score, insulin resistance, and testosterone. Endometrial thickness correlated positively with age and waist circumference but negatively with body weight, BMI, skin fold and triceps thickness. Conclusion: This study provides comprehensive normative ultrasound ranges for dimensions of uterus and ovaries in Indian women of reproductive age and its correlation with anthropometric and hormonal parameters. These normative values will aid in better diagnosis and management of reproductive health disorders in the Indian population.
