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
Purpose: The menopausal transition is accompanied by metabolic changes in women. This study explores the Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) as a potential indicator of menopausal status to aid in disease prevention. Patients and Methods: A cohort of 404 premenopausal Chinese women aged 45 years and above, from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), was included. CVAI was calculated from the 2011 survey data, menopausal status was collected in the 2018 survey, representing a 7-year longitudinal follow-up. The cross-sectional study cohort from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) included 3577 women aged 40-60 with CVAI and self-reported menopausal status from 2003 to 2020. Logistic regression models were estimated the odds ratio (OR) of the menopause data and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: In the CHARLS cohort, the adjusted OR for menopause in the fourth quartile of CVAI compared to the first quartile was 5.23 (95% CI: 1.59, 17.17; P for trend: 0.005). Additionally, a significant difference in the association between menopausal status and CVAI was found between rural and urban populations (P for interaction = 0.029). Moreover, in the NHANES cohort, the CVAI and the menopausal status were associated after adjustment (OR: 1.02, 95% CI: 1.002, 1.037, P: 0.029). In the stratified analysis, the association of CVAI with the status of menopause was observed among other ethnicities which including Asians (OR: 1.092, 95% CI: 1.012, 1.178, P: 0.025). Finally, a nomogram was developed to facilitate the clinical assessment of menopause based on the CVAI. Conclusion: The CVAI demonstrated a significant association with the odds of menopausal status in both Chinese and the US populations, suggesting its potential as a correlative marker for menopausal status, but the associational strength may vary by population.
