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

purposeThis study aimed to compare transdiagnostic neuropsychological factors among women with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), and asymptomatic control groups.

methodsUsing a causal-comparative design, 150 female university students aged 20 to 35 were selected through purposive sampling. Participants were categorized into PMS, PMDD, and asymptomatic control groups based on a structured clinical interview and a screening questionnaire. Neurocognitive functioning was assessed using the Continuous Performance Test (CPT), the Go/No-Go Task, and the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT).

resultsSignificant differences were observed among the three groups in sustained attention, inhibitory control, and risky decision-making. The PMDD group consistently showed lower performance than the PMS and asymptomatic control groups. Within-group phase comparisons revealed a significant decline in sustained attention only in the PMS group during the premenstrual phase, while other cognitive functions remained stable across menstrual cycle phases. No significant menstrual cycle phase changes were observed in the PMDD or asymptomatic control groups.

conclusionThese findings indicate that women with PMDD and PMS exhibit difficulties in attention, inhibitory control, and decision-making compared to the asymptomatic control group. Such difficulties appear to be related to symptom burden, highlighting potential targets for assessment and intervention.
