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: Menopause-specific quality of life (MENQOL) in middle-aged women gives us an outline of ramifications of menopause in their life. This study was aimed at assessing the MENQOL among middle-aged women in urban Meerut and to determine the association of sociodemographic and lifestyle factors with MENQOL. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study among middle-aged women was conducted in the urban area of Meerut. The estimated sample size was 300. Study subjects were selected by a multistage sampling method. Data collection was done using a pre-tested and semi-structured questionnaire. Association was assessed using the Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. Results: Overall mean ± standard deviation score of MENQOL among study subjects was 3.1 ± 1.2. Women sleeping <5 hours in a day were 2.241 times more likely to have a poor quality of life (AOR: 2.241). In the psychosocial domain, lower middle class (AOR: 5.316) and lower class (AOR: 5.732) categories of socioeconomic classification revealed a robust association with poor psychosocial MENQOL in comparison with upper class women, with Conclusions: Half of the study participants had a good MENQOL, with significant differences in MENQOL among the different domains. It was found that shorter sleep duration impacted overall MENQOL. Domain-wise analysis showed socioeconomic status in the psychosocial domain and marital status, occupation, and tobacco usage in the sexual domain as significant predictors.
