Correlation of Menopausal Symptoms with Serum Estradiol: A Study in Urban Indian Postmenopausal Women.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Background: Menopause is a hypoestrogenic state. Menopausal symptoms like hot flushes, depression, joint pains and urinary symptoms all correlate with falling estrogen levels. Material and Methods: Four hundred postmenopausal women who underwent natural menopause were included in the study conducted from Nov 2018 to March 2020. Surgical menopause, premature menopause and those on hormone replacement were excluded. Serum estradiol was measured and assessment of severity of menopausal symptoms was done using MRS questionnaire. MRS score of 0-4, 5-8, 9-15 and more than 16 were taken as none/minimal, mild, moderate and severe postmenopausal symptoms, respectively. Correlation between serum estradiol and symptoms was analyzed statistically. Results: Mean age of menopause in our study population was found to be 47.2 ± 3.96 years. Somatic symptoms were found maximum out of all 3 subscales in study population. Psychological subscale which included depression and mood changes was found to have the strongest correlation with serum estradiol level compared to other two subscales (somatic and genito-urinary). Discussion: Psychological symptoms, somatic symptoms and genitor urinary symptoms at menopause show correlation with falling estrogen levels. We found maximum correlation of psychological symptoms with low serum estradiol level. Conclusion: There is an inverse correlation of serum estradiol value with menopausal symptoms, with psychological symptoms (depression, anxiety, mood changes) showing highest correlation with low estrogen levels.
