Menopausal hormone therapy and comprehensive postmenopausal care in gynecologic cancer survivors: A position paper from the FIGO Committee on Women at Menopausal Age.

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
Recent advances in cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment have greatly improved survival rates among women with gynecologic cancers. More survivors now live long enough to experience treatment-related menopause. Vasomotor symptoms, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, sexual dysfunction, sleep issues, and long-term risks from estrogen deficiency can seriously impact quality of life. Despite increased survival, managing menopausal symptoms remains difficult, as concerns about cancer recurrence and hormone therapy safety often result in inconsistent or insufficient treatment. This article explores clinical considerations for menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) in women with a history of gynecologic cancer. It reviews evidence on the safety of MHT after vulvar, vaginal, cervical, uterine, and ovarian cancers, providing an overview of tumor histology, stage, and hormonal sensitivity. It also synthesizes observational studies, systematic reviews, and international guidelines to help clinicians deliver menopausal care to cancer survivors. Current evidence suggests that systemic MHT may be suitable for carefully chosen survivors of non-hormone-dependent gynecologic cancers, including most vulvar, vaginal, cervical, and epithelial ovarian cancers. Patients with hormonally sensitive tumors should generally avoid systemic MHT, while local vaginal hormonal administration and non-hormonal options remain important in these cases. Given the disproportionate burden of gynecologic cancers in low- and middle-income countries, where younger women face increased risks of treatment-induced menopause and limited survivorship resources, this paper emphasizes context-specific, resource-aware strategies to promote equitable care. By enhancing personalized and evidence-based decision-making, we aim to improve quality of life for women during menopause after cancer treatment, while ensuring safe, fair, and widely applicable survivorship approaches.
