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
backgroundHormonal changes occur in aging men and women. Considering andropausal changes as similar to menopause, however, is still an open topic. The aim of the research was to assess the occurrence and severity of symptoms associated with hormonal changes in men and women and to find similarities between the male and female climacterium. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: 397 individuals (197 men and 200 women) aged 45 to 68 years were examined. The subjects were divided into three groups, with regards to: risk of symptoms, transition period, and andropause/menopause. A sociodemographic survey, the Self-assessment Test, recommended by the pharmaceutical company Organon for the assessment of androgen deficiency in men, and the Women's Health Questionnaire to measure symptoms considered menopausal were used in the research.
resultsThe research results showed that menopause-specific symptoms - psychological, vasomotor and sexual - are considered criterial for andropause. However, women experience a greater spectrum of symptoms associated with hormonal changes than men. An analysis of all the symptoms showed that most of them are clearly visible in the oldest group of men and much earlier in women - during the menopausal period.
conclusionsThe symptoms observed in men and women in middle and late adulthood are considered to be characteristic of hormonal changes associated with andropause and menopause. However, due to their different scope, dynamics and consequences, the processes in question remain ambiguous.
