Figure F-12 is a plot demonstrating consistency within the following closed treatment loops: high estrogen/standard estrogen/ultrlow-low estrogen; high estrogen/standard estrogen/placebo; high estrogen/ultralow-low estrogen/placebo; standard estrogen/ultralow-low estrogen/black cohosh; standard estrogen/ultralow-low estrogen/placebo; standard estrogen/black cohosh/placebo; ultralow-low estrogen/black cohosh/placebo; ultralow-low estrogen/isoflavones/placebo. The plot shows that the only inconsistency among the treatment loops was found in the loop of standard estrogen/ultralow-low estrogen/black cohosh.
