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
Menopause is a universal occurrence in a woman's life where menstruation ceases, with an average age of 51.4 years in the United States. Late-onset menopause is defined as menopause after age 55. A thorough PubMed search revealed that there are currently no records of extended cycles through the entirety of a woman's geriatric years. A 65-year-old G2P2 Caucasian woman was admitted to the emergency department (ER) with a possible cerebrovascular accident. During admission, it was noted that the patient had vaginal bleeding. CT scan revealed a large fibroid, and ultrasound revealed an extremely thin endometrium, excluding endometrial pathology. Gynecology was consulted for post-menopausal bleeding, but in interviewing the patient, she was not surprised at her bleeding. Her LH and FSH levels were low, in the premenopausal range. This is a cautionary tale of an appropriate workup, and the importance of taking a gynecologic history, in the geriatric population.
