Evaluation of Cardiovascular Risk in Climacteric Women: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of mid-life health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo identify cardiovascular risk factors in women between 40 and 65 years old in two private clinic of gynecology in Minas Gerais.
methodsCross-sectional study from January/2016 to January/2017 in 137 climacteric women. A standardized questionnaire was used to evaluate socio-demographic characteristics, climacteric phases, cardiovascular risk factors, menopause (age, time and type), number of pregnancies, normal births, abortions, partners and hormonal therapy. The evaluation model was used according to the Framingham risk score.
resultsThe median age was 47 years, and 35% were postmenopausal. The majority were married and 42.3% caucasian. Abdominal circumference greater than 80 cm was observed in 87.6%, and greater than 88 cm in 67.2%. High total cholesterol (TC) was observed in 48.2%. Low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL-c) were observed in 42.3%. Elevated levels were observed for low density lipoprotein (LDL-c) in 39.4%, triglycerides in 29.9%, and fasting glucose in 8.8%. Also, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were considered high in 25.5% cases. Postmenopausal women presented higher values of TC and HDL-c. Analysis of the Framingham risk score revealed a higher cardiovascular risk for postmenopausal women. Higher values of waist circumference, glycemia and triglycerides were observed for women with higher cardiovascular risk.
conclusionsPostmenopausal women had a higher risk of cardiovascular events when compared to premenopausal ones.
