Observational study in European journal of medical research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03451747 (The Potential Role of Testosterone Between Hypertension and Target Organ Damage in Postmenopausal Hypertensive Women), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundThe prevalence of hypertension in postmenopausal women increases significantly compared to premenopausal women and gradually catches up with, or even exceeds, that of their male counterparts. Imbalanced levels of sex hormones play a critical role in the elevation of blood pressure (BP) observed in this population. Furthermore, blunted nocturnal BP decline is a key factor contributing to their increased cardiovascular risk. This study compared ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) values between female hypertensive patients with different menopausal durations and matched male patients, aiming to explore the correlation between sex hormone imbalance and ABP values.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 210 postmenopausal women and 210 matched male patients. The male patients were matched to hypertensive female patients with varying menopausal durations on the basis of variables such as age, body mass index (BMI, kg/m

resultsCompared with matched men, in women with hypertension within 5 years after menopause, the T/PRL-E

conclusionsThere was a significant correlation between sex hormone levels and ABP parameters, particularly nocturnal SBP, in women with different menopausal durations.

trial registrationThis study was retrospectively registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03451747) on February 18, 2018.
