1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Menopause occurs in all women. During the menopause transition, 80% of women experience vasomotor symptoms that can last an average of 7-10 years or longer, sometimes into the seventh and eighth decades of life. Understanding how to manage vasomotor symptoms (VMS) in older menopausal women is important since these symptoms can negatively impact quality of life. This review provides a practical guide on how to approach VMS treatment either with menopausal hormone therapy or non-hormone options. When initiating, as well as continuing hormone therapy, the factors clinicians should consider as they weigh risks and benefits include assessing a woman's risks related to cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and osteoporosis. Utilizing a shared decision-making approach in regard to menopausal symptom management should aim to support women and help them maintain health and quality of life.
