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

Progesterone is a multifunctional steroid hormone essential for reproductive function, yet its roles in cardiovascular and renal physiology remain comparatively less understood than those of estrogen. While its classical actions in regulating the menstrual cycle, promoting endometrial receptivity, and maintaining pregnancy are well-established, progesterone also signals through both genomic pathways via nuclear receptors, and non-genomic mechanisms via membrane receptors. These receptors are expressed outside of reproductive tissues, including the vasculature, heart, and kidney, supporting broader systemic effects of progesterone that are not yet fully defined. When compared to the current understanding of estrogen-mediated regulation in these tissues, the mechanisms conferring progesterone-mediated regulation of cardiovascular and renal function are less well studied. This review explores the contemporary understanding of progesterone signaling on cardiorenal physiology and pathophysiology in females and males, highlighting the need for enhanced methodological reporting in studies in this field and further investigation into the integrative roles of progesterone signaling.
