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.

2 · The registry

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: Vasomotor symptoms during menopause can be affected by many biological, psychological and environmental factors. Coffee consumption may also be one of these factors. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between coffee consumption habits and the severity of vasomotor symptoms in postmenopausal women in Turkey. Method: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted with 169 postmenopausal women. Data on participants' sociodemographic characteristics, coffee consumption habits, and vasomotor symptom severity were collected. ordinal regression analyses were performed to examine the effects on symptom severity; the significance level was set at p < 0.05. Results: The mean age of participants was 57.76 ± 5.27 years, and the mean age at menopause was 49.44 ± 3.25 years. The majority of women (78.1%) consumed mainly Turkish coffee; approximately half drank 0-1 cups of coffee per day. Regression analyses revealed that coffee type and consumption temperature were significantly associated with some vasomotor symptoms. Conclusion: Coffee type and consumption temperature may be associated with the severity of some vasomotor symptoms in the postmenopausal period. Future, larger-scale studies are needed to further clarify these relationships.
