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

The Women's Health Study (WENDY) was conducted to improve insights into women's health and health burden. It provides a unique, comprehensive data source that can be broadly utilized to understand gynecological symptoms, diseases, and their relation to metabolic and overall health more deeply in a population-based setting. The study was conducted in Finland from May 2020 to October 2022. It included 1918 women (33-37 years old) who were born in northern Finland between July 1985 and December 1987. Data collection comprised one 3- to 4-hour study visit that included clinical measurements, biological samples, ultrasound examinations and an extensive questionnaire on gynecological and reproductive history, physical and mental health, quality of life, lifestyles, current life situations, health awareness, and opinions. The study also included a menstrual cycle follow-up and cognitive testing up to 3 months via a mobile application. Given that all participants' data can be linked to all Finnish national registers, and the Northern Finland Birth Cohort participants' data can be linked to the birth cohort data set collected from gestational week 24 onward, WENDY study forms one of the largest data sets worldwide to investigate gynecological and metabolic health burden in women.
