Coronary Artery Calcium Scores After Prophylactic Premenopausal Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy.
Article in JACC. CardioOncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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: Premenopausal risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) in women at high familial risk of ovarian cancer leads to immediate menopause. Although early natural menopause is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk, evidence on long-term cardiovascular disease risk after early surgical menopause is scarce. Objectives: We sought to determine the long-term influence of the timing of RRSO on the development of coronary artery calcium (CAC), an established marker for cardiovascular disease risk. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study (N = 733) nested in a nationwide cohort of women at high familial risk of ovarian cancer. In women aged 60-70 years (n = 328), we compared CAC scores between women with a premenopausal RRSO (age ≤45 years) and women with a postmenopausal RRSO (age ≥54 years), using multivariable Poisson analyses. Within the premenopausal RRSO group (n = 498), we also examined the effect of age at RRSO. In addition, we compared the premenopausal RRSO group with an external reference cohort (n = 5,226). Results: Multivariable analyses showed that the prevalence rates of any CAC (CAC >0), at least moderate CAC (CAC >100), and severe CAC (CAC >400) were comparable between the premenopausal and postmenopausal RRSO groups (relative risk [RR]: 0.93; 95% CI: 0.75-1.15 for any CAC; RR: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.43-1.17 for at least moderate CAC; RR: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.30-2.13 for severe CAC). There was no difference in CAC between the premenopausal RRSO group and a similar aged reference cohort. Timing of premenopausal RRSO (early premenopausal RRSO [<41 years] vs late premenopausal RRSO [41-45 years]) did not affect the outcomes. Conclusions: Our results do not show a long-term adverse effect of surgical menopause on the development of CAC.
