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

objectivesThe objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the age of menarche and the prevalence of malignancies of the uterus and ovaries.

methodsA total of 5540 women were screened from those who participated in the National Health And Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) questionnaire from 2007 to 2020, and their variable factors of age, race, education level, Poverty Impact Ratio (PIR), marital status, Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference, duration of moderate exercise, smoking habits, hypertension status, energy intake, diabetes and alcohol consumption habits were analysed statistically and by logistic regression.

resultsUnivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis of the relationship between age at menarche and gynaecological cancer (uterus/cervix/ovary cancer, the following gynecologic cancers in the article refer to having at least one of these three cancers) prevalence showed a negative association between age at menarche and malignancies of the uterus and ovaries prevalence (OR: 0.82, 95% CI 0.69-0.97), with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.02). Regression results of the association between age at menarche and different types of malignancies of the uterus and ovaries found a negative association between age at menarche and prevalence in uterine cancers (P = 0.03) and no association between age at menarche and prevalence in cervical and ovarian cancers (P = 0.17, P = 0.29). Those with a younger age at menarche were more likely to develop uterine cancer (OR: 0.72, 95% CI 0.54-0.98).

conclusionsThere was a correlation between age at menarche and malignancies of the uterus and ovaries, with those who had menarche at an earlier age being at a higher risk of uterine cancer.
