Evaluating the Role of Hormone Therapy in Postmenopausal Women with Alzheimer's Disease.
Review in Drugs & aging, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Hormone therapy (HT) is prescribed during or after menopausal transition to replace the decline in estrogen and progesterone levels. While some studies indicate that estrogen and progesterone depletion in postmenopausal women might carry a significant risk for developing sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD), which may be reduced by HT, recent clinical trials oppose this beneficial effect. This review points to possible reasons for these mixed data by considering the issues of both preclinical and clinical trials, in particular, the representativeness of animal models, timing of HT initiation, type of HT (different types of estrogen compounds, estrogen monotherapy vs. estrogen-progesterone combined therapy), mode of drug delivery (subcutaneous, transdermal, oral, or intramuscular), and hormone dosage used, as well as the heterogeneity of the postmenopausal population in clinical trials (particularly considering their sAD stage, anti-AD therapy, and hysterectomy status). Careful planning of future preclinical and clinical HT interventional studies might help to elucidate the effect of HT on cognitive status in postmenopausal women with sAD, which will eventually contribute to more effective sAD prevention and treatment.
