Disparities in menopausal care in the United States: A systematic review.
Synthesis in Maturitas, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Effective menopausal care constitutes a continuum of symptom management and optimization of medical health, including cardiovascular, bone, and mental health. Menopausal knowledge and prescribing patterns changed significantly after the publication of the Women's Health Initiative. A systematic review was conducted to address three key questions about disparities in menopausal care: 1) What differences in menopausal care are experienced by specific populations? 2) What disparities are there in access to preventive care and symptomatic treatment? 3) What interventions reduce disparities in menopause management? PubMed, PsychInfo, SCOPUS, and EMBASE were queried to identify relevant articles published in the United States between 2002 and 2023. Twenty-eight articles met the review criteria; these included quantitative and qualitative analyses. Symptomatic menopausal patients utilize a range of therapies. Racial and ethnic minorities, veterans, women living with HIV, incarcerated individuals, patients with surgical menopause, and nursing home residents represent specifically studied populations that demonstrate differences in menopausal care. Healthcare professionals may impact access to certain therapeutics, possibly driven by lack of content knowledge or implicit bias. Insurance status and geographic location may also affect menopause management or access to care. Few interventions exist to address disparities in menopausal care. There is an urgent need to understand how patients and providers make menopausal treatment decisions and intervene to mitigate health disparities in menopausal care.
