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

aimsTo explore the associations of reproductive factors (RFs) and postmenopausal sex hormone (PSH) with cognitive impairment (CI) in postmenopausal women with PD (PWPD), and to develop a predictive nomogram.

methodsNinety-five PWPD were divided into CI (n = 72; Montreal Cognitive Assessment [MoCA] < 26) and normal cognition (n = 23; MoCA ≥ 26) groups. RFs and serum PSH levels were collected. Risk factors were screened by logistic regression and confirmed via sensitivity and subgroup analyses. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis.

resultsShorter reproductive lifespan (RLS) and lower education independently predicted CI in PWPD. Compared with RLS ≥ 39 years, RLS ≤ 32 years (adjusted OR = 12.41, p = 0.011) and 33-38 years (adjusted OR = 8.42, p = 0.008) were associated with significantly higher CI risks. The RLS-CI association remained stable across sensitivity analyses and was more prominent in milder-stage patients. No intergroup PSH differences were observed. A nomogram integrating RLS, education, age, disease duration, and Hoehn and Yahr stage (H&Y stage) demonstrated satisfactory discrimination (AUC = 0.903), calibration, and net benefit.

conclusionShorter RLS independently predicts CI in PWPD, particularly in milder-stage patients, while PSH shows no association. This nomogram may serve as a practical screening tool for CI in PWPD, pending external validation.
