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

Background: Menstrual health challenges among women in the coastal area of Bangladesh are increasingly impacted by water salinity, posing significant risks to both their physical and mental well-being. Aims: This study examines the effects of water salinity on the menstrual, hormonal, physical, and mental health of women living in coastal regions of Bangladesh. Methods: A mixed-method approach was used. Data were collected through structured surveys, in-depth interviews (IDIs), and key informant interviews (KIIs). The qualitative component, consisting of IDIs and KIIs, explored personal experiences and perceptions, whereas quantitative data were analyzed using statistical methods, including Cronbach's Alpha for reliability and two-way ANOVA via SPSS. Regression analysis was carried out by STATA (13 version). Findings: The results indicate that 95.7% of participants relied on saline water for daily activities. Approximately 44.3% reported menstrual health problems, whereas 27.5% experienced skin irritation and 18.9% reported hair loss. Regression analysis revealed a significant positive association between salinity exposure and menstrual health problems ( Conclusion: The researcher believes that if the government and NGOs take appropriate measures, this problem in residents of coastal areas can be eliminated. This study benefits the national sector by reducing discrimination and ensuring citizens' rights.
