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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe general health and well-being of middle-aged women have become a major public health issue worldwide. More than 80% of women experience physical or psychological symptoms during the transition to menopause. This study aims to compare the effect of menopause on quality of life (QOL) in two groups of women undergoing natural and surgical menopause.
methodsThe sample consisted of 100 female patients from a Greek hospital in Athens, with an average age of 44.5 years, half of whom had natural menopause, while the remaining women had iatrogenic menopause after surgery for any reason other than malignancy. A questionnaire related to the QOL in menopause was used to collect the data. The scale used to evaluate the QOL of women is the Utian QOL Scale (UQOL), translated into Greek.
resultsFrom the analysis of the data, it was found that there is no statistically significant difference between the QOL of women with natural and surgical menopause. Menopausal symptoms, psychosocial and sexual health, as well as the general health of the two groups, showed similar rates (OR: 63.7-66.6,
conclusionsMenopausal symptoms are associated with a decrease in women's QOL. However, QOL is affected regardless of the type of menopause transition. This study was not registered.
