Optimizing the Management of Menopause-Related Chronic Diseases in Rural Settings: A Closed-Loop "Screening-Prevention-Treatment" Model to Promote Healthy Aging - A Descriptive Study.

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
Background: In rural regions, menopausal symptoms frequently coexist with chronic comorbidities (bone metabolism, cardiovascular, psychological, and urogenital disorders). A structural contradiction of high disease burden, low healthcare utilization, and fragmented management persists due to complex multidimensional barriers. Objective: This study evaluates a closed-loop "screening-prevention-treatment" pathway shifting the management focus from isolated symptom relief to comprehensive control of menopause-related chronic disease clusters in resource-constrained rural settings. Methodology: A retrospective descriptive study evaluated a real-world implementation in Changshan County, integrating proactive screening into public health projects via a collaborative network. Data from 10,224 women were extracted from electronic records. The protocol used the modified Kupperman Index and sex hormone profiling for risk stratification to guide targeted interventions-from lifestyle modifications to menopausal hormone therapy (MHT)-with long-term digital follow-up. Results: Among 10,224 screened women, 2910 (28.46%) exhibited abnormal sex hormones. Of 1995 symptomatic women, 626 initiated interventions (31.37% treatment initiation rate). MHT uptake correlated with symptom severity, reaching 65.50% in the moderate and 100% in the severe group (Kupperman >30). The diagnosis-to-treatment conversion rate reached 72.09% in women aged 40-45 years. The screening yielded pleiotropic benefits, incidentally identifying 11.8 non-target abnormalities (eg, renal/hepatic dysfunction) per 100 screened women. Conclusion: This closed-loop model effectively addresses fragmented care for rural menopausal women. Utilizing active screening and risk stratification significantly improves diagnostic conversion rates and resource efficiency, providing a replicable framework for managing menopause-related comorbidities and promoting healthy aging in grassroots settings.
