Patient-reported Impact of Menopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy on Psoriasis.

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
Menopause's impact on psoriasis remains unclear. This study's aim was to gather information on patient perception of the impact of menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on psoriasis. This survey-based study analysed 139 postmenopausal women with psoriasis from the USA and South Korea. In the combined cohort, most women reported menopause either had no effect on their psoriasis (41.7%) or worsened their psoriasis (33.1%). In the combined cohort, a majority of women (73.4%) reported that there was no change in their psoriasis treatment with menopause. Of the women receiving HRT (n = 29), the majority reported no effect on psoriasis (62.1%). In multivariate analysis, alcohol consumption was protective against worsening of psoriasis with menopause (OR 0.19 [95% CI 0.06-0.59], p = 0.004). In summary, this study showed that menopause is likely to have a neutral to negative effect on psoriasis. HRT was found to have no effect on the course of psoriasis in the majority of cases.
