Reproductive history, menopause and cardiometabolic health in women: a multicountry analysis.
Article in Journal of epidemiology and community health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundWe investigated the association of reproductive history with cardiometabolic health in ethnically diverse women across five continents.
methodsWe pooled cross-sectional survey data on non-pregnant women aged 30-49 years from 15 countries. Multilevel models were used to examine associations between menopausal status, age at first birth (≥20 vs <20 years), parity (1, 2, 3, 4+ vs 0 births) and cardiometabolic indicators: body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and fasting blood glucose (FBG), adjusting for age and socioeconomic status.
resultsWe included 413 802 women (median age 38 years; 14% postmenopausal). Being in a postmenopausal state was associated with lower BMI (-0.22, 95% CI -0.27 to -0.17 kg/m
conclusionsIrrespective of menopausal status, later age at first birth was associated with lower BMI and SBP, while higher parity was associated with lower SBP. Reproductive history has implications for cardiometabolic risk in women across diverse settings.
