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

Since basic scientific studies in the 1990s revealed dramatic gender differences in neurological damage from cerebral ischemia, significant evidence has accumulated for a neuroprotective role of ovarian-derived 17β-Estradiol (E2). Intriguingly, observational studies have further suggested that early and prolonged loss of ovarian E2 (premature menopause) leads to a doubled lifetime risk for dementia and a fivefold increased risk of mortality from neurological disorders, but some controversy remains. Here, we briefly summarize and analyze clinical cohort studies assessing the detrimental neurological outcomes of premature menopause. Furthermore, we discuss current basic science studies elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying the enhanced risk of neurological disease in prematurely menopausal women and the "window of opportunity" for estrogen benefit. Finally, we highlight four critical issues in the field that require collaboration between basic scientists and clinicians for successful resolution, with the ultimate goal of maintaining optimal neurological health in prematurely menopausal women.
