Hormonal Influences on Skeletal Muscle Function in Women across Life Stages: A Systematic Review.
Review in Muscles (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Skeletal muscle function is vital for locomotion, posture, and metabolism, significantly impacting overall health and preventing falls, morbidity, and mortality, especially in elderly populations. This systematic review investigates the influence of hormonal fluctuations on skeletal muscle function across different life stages in women, including adolescence, the reproductive years, and menopause. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify relevant studies. This review includes 45 studies that met the inclusion criteria, examining the roles of estrogen, progesterone, and other hormones in muscle metabolism, strength, and recovery. The findings highlight significant stage-specific hormonal impacts on muscle function, revealing how puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and menopause uniquely affect muscle health. Effective hormonal and non-hormonal interventions tailored to each life stage were identified, offering insights for optimizing muscle function and health management in women. This synthesis aims to bridge the gaps in understanding the hormonal regulation of muscle function, providing a foundation for future research and guiding clinical practices.
