Evidence of reduced peripheral microvascular function in young Black women across the menstrual cycle.

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
Black women (BLW) have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality compared with White women (WHW). A racial disparity in CVD risk has been identified early in life as young adult BLW demonstrate attenuated vascular function compared with WHW. Previous studies comparing vascular function between premenopausal WHW and BLW have been limited to the early follicular (EF) phase of the menstrual cycle, which may not reflect their vascular function during other menstrual phases. Therefore, we evaluated peripheral microvascular function in premenopausal WHW and BLW using passive leg movement (PLM) during three menstrual phases: EF, ovulation (OV), and mid-luteal (ML). We hypothesized that microvascular function would be augmented during the OV and ML phases compared with the EF phase in both groups, but would be attenuated in BLW compared with WHW at all three phases. PLM was performed on 26 apparently healthy premenopausal women not using hormonal contraceptives: 15 WHW (23 ± 3 yr), 11 BLW (24 ± 5 yr). There was a main effect of race on the overall change in leg blood flow (ΔLBF) (
