Utilization of fezolinetant for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms of menopause in a real-world setting.

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
objectiveFezolinetant (Veozah) was approved as a nonhormone treatment for moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms of menopause in May 2023, providing a novel treatment option for women with contraindications to menopausal hormone therapy. The objective of the study was to characterize the uptake and utilization of fezolinetant in a real-world setting.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study using TriNetX data, which includes 108 health care organizations and over 156 million patients. Females with an initial prescription for fezolinetant between May 1, 2023, and December 31, 2024, were included. We described baseline clinical and demographic characteristics and assessed the uptake of fezolinetant over time.
resultsOur cohort included 9,853 women, including 1,315 (13.3%) who were over the age of 65 and 2,022 (20.5%) with a breast cancer diagnosis. Among the 7,222 individuals with at least 3 months of continuous enrollment, 1,477 (20.5%) had persistent use, defined as having a second fezolinetant prescription between 28 and 90 days of the initial fezolinetant prescription. Among persistent users, 42% received liver function testing in the 3 months after initiating fezolinetant, though regular monitoring is required after starting treatment. The total number of fezolinetant prescriptions increased over time, from 233 prescriptions between May 1 through July 31, 2023, to 1,871 prescriptions between May 1 and July 31, 2024.
conclusionsOur findings highlight a need for future postmarketing safety and effectiveness studies, especially among survivors of breast cancer and women 65 years and older, who were excluded from the randomized controlled trials.
