Impact of female hormones on blood pressure: review of potential mechanisms and clinical studies.
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
In recent studies, it has been found that postmenopausal hormonal therapy is associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease. Experimental studies suggest several potential mechanisms by which estrogens might decrease blood pressures, and estrogen administration attenuates hypertension in several animal models. In humans, although oral contraceptive agents are frequently associated with increases in blood pressure, blood pressure was not increased or was minimally increased in prospective clinical trials of hormone therapy in postmenopausal women. These observations suggest that the excess rates of cardiovascular disease are not caused by increased blood pressure.
