What Was Tested
The paper reports a study of Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc, published as a randomized controlled trial.
This study aim was to investigate the effect of vitamin D (vit D) supplementation in treatment of primary dysmenorrhea with vit D deficiency.

Dysmenorrhea is common among women of reproductive age.
A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted on 60 women with primary dysmenorrhea and vit D deficiency referred to their clinic at Arash Women's Hospital from September 2013 to December 2014.

The age groups tagged for this paper are young adults and adults, women only.
How the Study Was Run
The researchers set it up as a randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled study.
Random assignment meant chance, not the researchers, decided who got Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc and who got the comparison, which limits bias.
As a double-blind Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc study, the assignments were hidden from both participants and investigators until the end.
The comparison arm used a placebo, so changes seen with Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc could be set against what happens without it.
What Was Measured
A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted on 60 women with primary dysmenorrhea and vit D deficiency referred to their clinic at Arash Women's Hospital from September 2013 to December 2014.
