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.

2 · The registry

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

This study investigated the prevalence and severity of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) among adult females and its relationship with the dietary inflammatory index (DII), which measures the inflammatory potential of a person's diet. The study employed a cross-sectional design, with participants recruited through convenience sampling. A structured questionnaire, including the Arabic Premenstrual Syndrome Scale, was used to assess the prevalence and severity of PMS. A self-administered food frequency questionnaire was used to assess dietary intakes and depict the DII of the participant's intakes. A total of 305 adult females participated; of these, 93% reported at least one PMS symptom, with a prevalence of 33.7% for PMS, primarily characterized by mild to moderate symptoms. The mean DII score was 2.52 ± 6.28, indicating a generally proinflammatory diet among participants. Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that higher DII scores, particularly in Tertile 3, were significantly associated with increased PMS severity (
