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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of mobile app-based education on menopausal symptoms and quality of life (QoL) among menopausal women attending an educational, research, and therapeutic center. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study (educational intervention) with a controlled pre-test and post-test design. The study population included 86 menopausal women who were included in the study using convenience sampling and were then assigned into experimental and control groups by block randomization method. Data collection was carried out in the pre and post-intervention phases using individual-social and fertility characteristics form, Greene climacteric scale (GCS), and standard menopause-specific quality of life (MENQOL) questionnaire. The intervention group utilized the menopause mobile phone application for eight weeks. The control group did not receive any education. After the end of 8 weeks, GSC and MENQOL questionnaire were completed by the experimental and control groups via a phone call. Data analysis was also performed using independent t-test, paired t-test, and change-score analysis with p-value< 0.05 considered as the significance level in all tests. Results: Compared to the control group, the intervention group revealed a significant decrease in the average scores of all domains of QoL, the total score, and menopausal symptoms except for the sexual domain (p<0.01). Conclusion: The implementation of mobile phone app-based education can help improve QoL of menopausal women and reduce the severity of their menopausal symptoms. Hence, it can be used as an effective method for better management of menopausal symptoms and improving QoL of these women.
