Dietary interventions and nutritional strategies for menopausal health: a mini review.
Review in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Menopause constitutes a pivotal physiological transition characterized by irreversible cessation of ovarian function and profound estrogen depletion, precipitating vasomotor symptoms, accelerated bone resorption, heightened cardiovascular risk, and adverse metabolic reprogramming. This mini-review systematically synthesizes evidence from 42 high-quality studies (18 systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 24 randomized controlled trials) published between January 2020 and October 2025. Studies were sourced via structured searches of PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, focusing on dietary patterns and targeted nutrient interventions in peri- and postmenopausal women (inclusion: outcomes on vasomotor symptoms, bone health, cardiovascular risk, or metabolic parameters; exclusion: hormone replacement therapy or non-human research). Narrative synthesis incorporated critical appraisal of study quality, heterogeneity, and bias. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet consistently demonstrates clinically meaningful reductions in blood pressure and triglyceride concentrations, thereby attenuating cardiovascular burden. Calcium and vitamin D co-supplementation robustly preserves bone mineral density and mitigates fracture risk. Plant-based dietary patterns rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables are associated with attenuated symptom severity and enhanced healthy aging trajectories. Despite these advances, postmenopausal women remain disproportionately vulnerable to micronutrient deficiencies, underscoring the imperative for balanced, nutrient-dense intake. These non-pharmacological strategies confer substantial improvements in quality of life, yet persistent gaps in long-term outcomes and representation of diverse populations necessitate further investigation.
