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

aimsThe aim of this meta-analysis was to comprehensively evaluate the association of early age at natural menopause with the risk for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.

methodsLiterature retrieval was done on August 4, 2020. Article selection and data extraction were completed independently and in duplicate. Early age at natural menopause was grouped into premature menopause (<40 years), early menopause (40-44 years), and relatively early menopause (45-49 years). Effect-size estimates are summarized as hazard ratio (HR) or relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI).

resultsSixteen articles involving 321,233 women were meta-analyzed. Overall analyses revealed a statistically significant association of early age at natural menopause with all-cause mortality risk (HR

conclusionsOur findings indicate that premature menopause is a promising independent risk factor for both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
