Appendicular lean mass is lower in late compared with early perimenopausal women: potential role of FSH.

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
Age-related declines in skeletal muscle mass (i.e., sarcopenia) contribute to physical disability in older women. Although a menopause-related increase in fat mass is well documented, whether menopause influences muscle mass and sarcopenia is unclear. We determined the extent to which skeletal muscle mass differs across the stages of the menopause transition in women and whether these differences are associated with estradiol or other sex hormones. This was a cross-sectional study of 144 healthy women (aged 30-70 yr) classified as premenopausal [
