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
objectiveMenopause is a significant period in a woman's life that can be natural or surgical. We aimed to assess the association between the type of menopause and sleep quality, especially in elderly women.
methodThis was a cross-sectional study using data from the first phase of the Ardakan Cohort Study on Ageing (ACSA) of 50 and above years of menopausal women, distributed into two groups of natural and surgical menopause. Three questionnaires were used to assess sleep quality, including Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Berlin questionnaire, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Multiple regression models were used to assess the association between the type of menopause and sleep quality. P-value less than 0.05 was considered significant.
resultsIn total, 2,532 menopausal and postmenopausal women were included in the study, of which 669 (26.4%) had surgical menopause. The mean of the PSQI score for participants with surgical menopause was 9.29±4.30 compared to 8.78±4.10 for participants with natural menopause (P-value = 0.001). 37.1% of participants with natural menopause had sleep-disordered breathing according to the Berlin questionnaire despite 43.9% among participants with surgical menopause (P-value = 0.007). The multivariable regression models showed that surgical menopause was not significantly associated with the PSQI score differences, Epworth score, or Berlin score compared to natural menopause (OR:0.89, 1.13, and 0.85; CI 95%: 0.13-1.19, 0.68-1.86, and 0.68-1.07 respectively).
conclusionThe findings suggest that the type of menopause is not associated with sleep quality. However, further studies employing objective sleep assessments are necessary to validate these results and guide clinicians and individuals in refraining from prioritizing the type of menopause as a significant risk factor for poor sleep quality.
