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.

Abstract

Introduction: Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) affects a high percentage of women of reproductive age and is one of the most common causes of school and work absenteeism. It significantly reduces quality of life and impairs daily activities. Strawberry consumption has demonstrated benefits in chronic and inflammatory diseases. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of consuming fresh strawberries from Huelva on menstrual pain in young female university students with primary dysmenorrhea. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted including 64 participants with PD, who were randomly assigned to either the control ( Results: A significant decrease in maximum self-reported menstrual pain was observed at one and 2 months compared with baseline in the intervention group. Regarding menstrual cycle duration, a significant between-group difference was observed between the cycle preceding the study and the second cycle, with a greater shortening in the control group. Perceived health status was also significantly higher in the intervention group at one and 2 months compared with the control group. Discussion: These findings support the recommendation that healthcare professionals promote the consumption of polyphenol-rich foods, such as strawberries, for the relief of menstrual pain. Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06250660 on 2024/01/26. This clinical trial was funded by the Asociación Onubense de Productores y Exportadores de Fresa, Freshuelva.
