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
objectiveThe purpose of the study was to examine the relationships between psychological and cardiovascular symptoms in a multiethnic group of midlife women while controlling for other influencing factors, and to determine the association of race/ethnicity to the relationships between psychological and cardiovascular symptoms.
methodsThis was a secondary analysis of the data among 1,054 midlife women from two Internet surveys. The instruments included the questions on background characteristics, health, and menopause status and the Midlife Women's Symptom Index. The data were analyzed using correlation analyses, chi-squared tests, analysis of variance, and multivariate linear and logistic regression analyses.
resultsThe total numbers and total severity scores of psychological symptoms were significantly related to those of cardiovascular symptoms as a whole and in each racial/ethnic group (P < 0.01). In total participants, both the total numbers and total severity scores of psychological symptoms were significantly associated with increased risk for cardiovascular symptoms after adjusting for race/ethnicity (P < 0.01), and there were no interactions between race/ethnicity and psychological symptoms. The existence of diagnosed cardiovascular diseases was significantly associated with the total numbers of and total severity scores of psychological symptoms only in Asian women.
conclusionsFurther studies on the mechanisms through which psychological symptoms are related to cardiovascular symptoms are needed while controlling for race/ethnicity.
