Evaluation of the relationship between types of menopause and cognitive function.

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/aim: Menopause is often accompanied by neurological symptoms, including cognitive difficulties, especially with memory and attention. The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between the timing of menopause and the cognitive performance of menopausal patients who applied to our neurology clinic with complaints of forgetfulness. Materials and methods: The data of 538 women who applied to the neurology clinic with complaints of forgetfulness between January 2018 and January 2024 and underwent neuropsychological evaluations were scanned retrospectively. A total of 96 patients who applied to the neurology and menopause clinics were included in the study. Results: The attention orientation, verbal fluency, memory, and total Addenbrooke's cognitive evaluation battery-revised (ACE-R) test scores were significantly higher in the >50-year-old menopausal group when compared to the other groups (p < 0.001). A statistically significant, negative, and weak relationship was detected between the body mass index (BMI) and memory scores (r = 0.3, p < 0.001). A statistically significant, positive, and weak relationship was detected between the high-density lipoprotein level and verbal fluency score, memory score and ACE-R score (r = 0.3, p < 0.001). A statistically significant, negative, and weak relationship was detected between the BMI and memory scores (r = 0.3, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The relationship between the cognitive performance of menopausal women and the timing of menopause was examined herein. The ACE-R, attention and orientation, visual, verbal fluency, and memory scores were significantly higher in women ≥50 years of age who entered menopause compared to those <40 years of age and those between 40 and 50 years of age. This study provides evidence that advancing age at menopause is associated with better cognitive performance. This relationship is most evident in the areas of the attention, verbal fluency, memory, and visuospatial domains.
