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

We are reexamining the role of hormone replacement therapy in cardiovascular risk in light of the results from the Heart and Estrogen/Progestin Replacement Study (HERS) trial. Prior to this trial, the wealth of evidence in the laboratory and in observational trials suggested that estrogen replacement was associated with significant cardioprotection. The HERS trial was the first randomized trial of this therapy in postmenopausal women with coronary artery disease, and it did not demonstrate a reduction in cardiovascular events in women taking hormone replacement therapy. These findings have made us rethink some of the basic science underlying the cardiovascular effects of hormone replacement therapy. Recent evidence regarding thromboembolic risk, inflammation, and types of hormone replacement therapy is discussed.
