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

introductionThere is limited education provided to women about perimenopause and menopause, consequently many women have little knowledge and/or do not receive appropriate care in this critical life phase. The aim of this study was to explore Australian women's knowledge of perimenopause and menopause.

methodsThis concurrent mixed methods study using an online survey and qualitative interviews explored Australian women's knowledge and experiences of perimenopause and menopause.

resultsFour hundred eleven women completed the quantitative online survey with 25 participating in the semi-structured interviews. Data specific to women's knowledge of perimenopause and menopause were analyzed with qualitative data presented. DISCUSSION: Most participants in this study had some knowledge of perimenopause and menopause; however, expectations differed greatly from the reality they experienced. Findings highlighted that websites could be beneficial and discussions between women provided emotional and psychological support. There was no meaningful difference in knowledge scores due to education level.
