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
objectiveThis study harnessed cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017-March 2020 to examine the relationship between menopausal status and depression among U.S. women.
methodsData from NHANES 2017-March 2020 were used for this cross-sectional analysis. Robust statistical approaches, including univariate and multivariate logistic regression, were applied, and subgroup analyses were conducted to assess the stability of the findings.
resultsWomen with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and early menopause showed a higher likelihood of depression compared with non-menopausal women (POI: odds ratio (OR) = 1.59, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 1.07-2.35; Early menopause: OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.06-2.76). Among these groups, women whose age at last delivery was under 35 years demonstrated an ever greater vulnerability to depression (POI: OR = 1.62, 95% CI = 1.07-2.43; Early menopause: OR = 1.83, 95% CI = 1.11-3.02). In postmenopausal women, moderate-intensity activity (≥150 minutes per week) was associated with increased odds of depressive symptoms (Overall moderate-to-vigorous physical activity: OR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.08-3.34; moderate-to-vigorous recreational activity: OR = 2.17, 95% CI = 1.06-4.44). This association was not statistically significant among postmenopausal women engaging in insufficient moderate-intensity physical activity.
conclusionThese findings support a significant association between POI and early menopause and depression in U.S. women, particularly among those whose age at last delivery was below 35 years.
