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

opinion statementAlthough the US Preventive Services Task Force and other contemporary guidelines recommend that Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT) not be used for prevention of chronic conditions, its use for prevention of cardiovascular disease remains controversial. The Women's Health Initiative and the Heart and Estrogen/progestin Replacement Study explored the benefits and risks of MHT for cardiovascular disease, primary and secondary prevention respectively, but challenges to these data include suboptimal hormone therapy adherence and the advanced age of the women at initiation of MHT. Here we discuss the recent literature impacting MHT management of the peri- and post-menopausal women who are concerned about cardiovascular disease risk.
