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
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the relationships among health literacy, symptom burden, and quality of life among perimenopausal women in the border areas of Yunnan, China, and to explore the mediating role of symptom burden. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 452 perimenopausal women in the border areas of Yunnan, China, using convenience sampling. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Perimenopausal Health Knowledge Questionnaire, the modified Kupperman Index, and the Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, univariate analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and common method bias testing were performed using SPSS 26.0. Structural equation modeling was conducted using Mplus 8.3, and the Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect. Results: The mean scores for health literacy, symptom burden, and quality of life were 10.00 ± 5.14, 16.19 ± 9.19, and 46.69 ± 26.38, respectively. Health literacy was negatively correlated with symptom burden and quality of life, whereas symptom burden was positively correlated with quality of life, with all correlations being statistically significant ( Conclusion: Perimenopausal women in the border areas of Yunnan had relatively low levels of health literacy, a high symptom burden, and impaired quality of life. Targeted and individualized interventions should be developed according to ethnic cultural characteristics and the distribution of primary healthcare resources in this region to reduce symptom burden and improve quality of life among perimenopausal women.
