Vasomotor symptoms and cardiovascular health: findings from the SWAN and the MsHeart/MsBrain studies.
Review in Climacteric : the journal of the International Menopause Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Vasomotor symptoms (VMS) are often considered the classic menopausal symptom and are experienced by most women during the menopause transition. VMS are well established to be associated with decrements in quality of life during the menopause. More recent research also links VMS to poorer cardiovascular health. This review summarizes key insights about links between VMS and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk that come from the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN), a longitudinal epidemiologic cohort study of the menopause transition, as well as from the MsHeart/MsBrain studies, clinical studies that leverage vascular imaging and brain imaging as well as wearable technologies that provide objective indicators of VMS. Using a range of methodologies and extensive consideration of confounders, these studies have shown that frequent and/or persistent VMS are associated with adverse CVD risk factor profiles, poorer underlying peripheral vascular and cerebrovascular health, and elevated risk for clinical CVD events. Collectively, the SWAN and MsHeart/MsBrain studies form complementary epidemiologic and clinical studies that point to the importance of VMS to women's cardiovascular health during the menopause transition and beyond.
