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

Introduction: Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life, typically occurring in mid-adulthood, and is characterised by various biological, psychological, and social changes. This study explores the relationship between women's perceptions of menopause, their attitudes toward it, and their overall life satisfaction during this period. Additionally, it examines the impact of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and the different stages of menopause on these perceptions and attitudes.

The menopause rating scale, the Results: There is a negative correlation between severity of menopausal symptoms and life satisfaction [ Conclusions: The menopausal stage affects how symptoms and attitudes toward menopause are evaluated. The use of HRT also differentiates these factors. Results show links between symptom evaluation, life satisfaction, and general attitudes toward menopause.
