Cardiometabolic measures and cognition in early menopause - Analysis of baseline data from a randomized controlled trial.
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 5 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
objectiveThe relationships between cardiometabolic indices and cognition were examined in recently menopausal women.
methodsCross-sectional analysis of baseline data from the KEEPS (Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study)-Cognitive ancillary study (n = 621). Cognitive performance was assessed by the Modified Mini Mental Status (3MS) score (primary outcome). Physical cardiometabolic indices included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and blood pressure (BP). Biochemical cardiometabolic indices included serum levels of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), non-HDL (non-HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), fasting serum glucose (FSG), and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Socio-demographic variables included age, race/ethnicity, education, and lifestyle (physical activity, smoking). Central adiposity was defined as WC > 88 cm (>35 in) and WHR > 0.8. Separate stepwise multivariable analyses (GLM, ordinal logistic regression and logistic regression) assessed relationships between 3MS scores (as continuous, in tertiles and dichotomized at 90 respectively) with the measures of central adiposity (predictor variables); socio-demographic variables (age, time since menopause, race, educational status and lifestyle) and cardiometabolic variables (BP, lipids, FSG, HOMA-IR and hs-CRP) were examined as covariates. The final multivariable models included time since menopause, race, ethnicity, educational status, strenuous exercise, BMI ≥30 kg/m
resultsOn adjusted analyses, indices of central adiposity were independent predictors of significantly lower 3MS scores (p < 0.05). Consistency in this relationship was observed across the three different multivariable regression analytic approaches (GLM, ordinal and logistic regression).
conclusionsAmong recently menopausal women, WC > 88 cm and WHR > 0.8 were associated with significantly lower cognitive function, as reflected by lower 3MS scores. The mechanisms that might explain the observed negative implications of central adiposity for cognitive function warrant further study.
