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
The significant drop in estrogen levels during menopause increases the cardiovascular risks, one of which is cerebrovascular atherosclerosis. Research on rheoencephalography (REG) parameters for the early diagnosis of cerebrovascular atherosclerotic lesions is of great interest to scientists because of its ease of implementation, low cost, and non-invasiveness. The objectives of study are to evaluate the vascular tone, cerebral circulation flow in each hemisphere of the brain of menopausal women, and some associated factors through waveform characteristics and parameters in REG. A controlled cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on a group of patients including 80 menopausal women and a control group of 46 menstruating women. All patients were measured REG in the frontal-occipital leads by VasoScreen 5000 impedance REG meter. In menopausal women, the percentage of sharp waves, the percentage of clear side waves, and the average REG were all lower than in the control group (p<0.01). The mean conduction time and mean slope ratio was lower than the control group (p<0.001). The mean peak time was higher than the control group (p<0.01). The mean elasticity index (alpha/T) was higher than the control group (p<0.001). Menopausal women have increased vascular tone, the highest in the group of women 50-60 years old, menopause <5 years, having a habit of eating red meat; and decreased blood flow intensity, the highest in the group of women <50 years old. However, the difference was statistically significant only in the left hemisphere (p<0.05). Vascular hypertonia in menopausal women with central obesity was higher than in the non-obese group in both hemispheres (p<0.05). In conclusion, menopausal women had atherosclerosis in both hemispheres of the brain, which was clearly shown in the rate of increased vascular tone. Central obesity may increase the risk of vascular hypertonia 3.75 times in the right and 5.44 times in the left hemisphere.
