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

Menopause is an important phase in the life of older women. Women's life expectancy has increased worldwide. As women experience and perceive menopause differently depending on their personal, family and sociocultural backgrounds, perimenopausal symptoms can often go unnoticed and missed by general practitioners. General practitioners are uniquely placed in the healthcare delivery pyramid to close this gap and improve patients' quality of life by identifying perimenopausal signs and symptoms early. This article shares knowledge about continuing medical education for general practitioners to close the existing gap. As there is great variability within each menopausal woman's experience as well as among individual women, there is a need to individualise and render personalised care. By being able to discuss accepted and safe standards of care and by advocating for a holistic approach incorporating both non-pharmacological and pharmacological strategies, general practitioners would be able to improve the confidence of their patients for better health outcomes.
