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

This proceeding summarizes a symposium on multidisciplinary menopause management held on April 13, 2024, as part of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture's 2024 conference. The workshop featured a presentation that integrated conventional medical perspectives and acupuncture therapy approaches to managing menopause symptoms. Topics included the stages of the menopausal transition, vasomotor symptoms, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, bone and cardiovascular health, and psychological well-being. The presentation also provided traditional Chinese medicine theories, pattern recognition in patient presentation, and evidence from clinical trials on acupuncture efficacy. In this study, we highlight the major points of the presentation.
