Are serum estrogen concentrations associated with menopausal symptom bother among postmenopausal women? Baseline results from two MsFLASH clinical trials.
Trial report in Maturitas, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo evaluate whether single measurements of serum estradiol (E STUDY
designWe analyzed baseline data from two clinical trials conducted in 2012-2017: MsFLASH 03 (178 peri-/post-menopausal women aged 40-62 years with bothersome vasomotor symptoms, mean age 54) and MsFLASH 05 (181 post-menopausal women aged 45-70 years with moderate-to-severe vulvovaginal symptoms, mean age 61).
main outcome measuresSymptom bother (hot flushes or flashes, night sweats, sweating, aching in muscles and joints, change in sexual desire, vaginal dryness during intercourse, and avoiding intimacy) in the past month was assessed using the Menopause-Specific Quality of Life questionnaire. Using logistic regression, we calculated the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values for E
resultsAUC values (95% confidence interval) ranged between 0.51 (0.41-0.60) and 0.62 (0.53, 0.72) for MsFLASH 03 and between 0.51 (0.42, 0.59) and 0.64 (0.53, 0.75) for MsFLASH 05. There was little evidence of associations between serum hormone levels and bother by a given menopausal symptom.
conclusionThese findings do not support the clinical utility of a single measurement of serum of E
