Postmenopausal hormone therapy: impact on menopause-related symptoms, chronic disease and quality of life.
Review in Drugs, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Quality of life in climacteric and postmenopausal women is often compromised. This overview addresses the many factors that may interfere with health and well-being in such women. Hormonal changes during the menopausal transition, finally resulting in estrogen deficiency, play a pivotal role in the incidence of climacteric symptoms and also in the development of chronic diseases. Such symptoms and diseases can contribute to impaired quality of life in climacteric and postmenopausal women. Postmenopausal hormone therapy (PHT) is the treatment of first choice to alleviate symptoms of estrogen deficiency. Besides effectively relieving climacteric symptoms and complaints, PHT can also protect against some chronic diseases, such as osteoporosis and colorectal cancer. Presently, available PHTs vary widely in type, estrogen and progestogen dosage, and route and duration of administration. Furthermore, the number of alternatives to treat climacteric symptoms, and/or to prevent chronic diseases, has increased. Therefore, doctors involved in the care of climacteric women in the 21st century are much more able to meet the specific needs of individual patients and improve health and quality of life.
