Examining the role of ovarian hormones in the association between worry and working memory across the menstrual cycle.
Article in Psychoneuroendocrinology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Previous research indicates that worry is associated with poorer working memory performance. Moreover, prior work demonstrates that estradiol relates to both worry and working memory performance. In the present study, we sought to further examine interrelations between worry, estradiol and working memory by testing whether estradiol moderates the association between worry and working memory in females. We hypothesized that worry would be associated with poorer working memory performance at higher levels of estradiol. We also conducted exploratory analyses to examine the role of progesterone as a moderator of the association between worry and working memory. Participants were 97 naturally-cycling females who attended four lab sessions across their menstrual cycles. Consistent with predictions, higher average levels of worry were associated with lower working memory accuracy on particularly difficult trials when average levels of estradiol were also high. The same association between higher worry and lower working memory accuracy emerged when average levels of progesterone were high. Findings highlight the importance of considering ovarian hormones in future studies and current theories of anxiety and cognition.
