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

The totality of data indicate that the window of opportunity for reducing mortality and coronary heart disease is initiation of hormone therapy (HT) within 6 years of menopause and/or by 60 years of age and continued for 6 years or more. Additionally, the risks of HT are rare (<1/1000) especially in younger postmenopausal women and comparable with other primary prevention therapies. In fact, as randomized controlled trial results accumulate, the more they look like the consistent observational data. These studies showed that young postmenopausal women with menopausal symptoms who use HT for long periods of time have lower rates of mortality and coronary heart disease than comparable postmenopausal women who do not use HT.
