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

Menopause has unequivocally been associated with cardiovascular risk and obesity. Loss of estrogen bioavailability is a hallmark of menopause. Estrogen is generally considered vasculoprotective, with estrogen receptor α (ERα) being the predominant receptor subtype that mediates these positive effects. Similarly, estrogen and ERα are known to stimulate white adipose tissue metabolism. However, it is unknown whether ERα could exert a beneficial effect on mesenteric perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT). PVAT is a heterogeneous tissue that surrounds most peripheral blood vessels. In physiological conditions, PVAT has an anticontractile effect on the vasculature. However, in several diseases, PVAT switches its phenotype to become procontractile. To date, the role of ERα in PVAT function in health and disease is unknown. Therefore, we hypothesized that overexpression of adipose tissue ERα (ERα
