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
Introduction: Atherosclerosis, cognitive impairment, and depression are common entities in postmenopausal patients. Our aim was to ascertain the relationship between the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and cognitive function and depression in postmenopausal women. Material and methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional, comparative study among postmenopausal women. A carotid artery ultrasound was performed, and the IMT was measured. Mental function was assessed with the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), and the presence of depression with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). For statistical analysis the Mann-Whitney Results: Seventy-five patients were studied. The median of age was 52 years (31-76), and the IMT was 1.1 mm (0.6-0.20). The HDRS score was 8.9 (1-21), and that of the MMSE was 29 (18-30). After dividing the group according to the presence or absence of depression, it was found that age and IMT were greater in the group with depression, and the MMSE score was greater in the group without depression. After dividing according to the MMSE score, age and HDRS score were significantly greater in the group with cognitive impairment. The intima-media thickness had an OR of 12.2 (2.6-58.0) for cognitive impairment and an OR of 5.2 (1.9-14.1) for depression. Conclusions: The intima-media thickness is associated with greater risk of cognitive impairment and depression.
