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

The aim of the study was to investigate adrenomedullin (ADM) levels and its relation with insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Twenty-nine women with PCOS and 29 age- and body mass index (BMI)- matched control subjects were included in the study. PCOS was defined according to criteria by the Rotterdam European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology/American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ESHRE/ASRM)-sponsored PCOS consensus workshop group. A full clinical and biochemical examination including basal hormones and metabolic profile was performed. Insulin resistance was calculated by using the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR). Plasma ADM levels were measured by high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method. Plasma ADM, fasting insulin levels and HOMA-IR were significantly higher in patients with PCOS than the control group. ADM levels were positively correlated with insulin levels and HOMA-IR index. The best cut-off value of ADM levels to identify the presence of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR≥2.7) was 30.44 ng/ml. Calculated odds ratio of insulin resistance by using logistic regression analysis, as predicted by ADM, was 0.15 (95% confidence interval, 0.037-0.628; p=0.009). In multiple regression analysis, ADM level was an independent predictor of HOMA-IR index. Our finding indicated that ADM levels increased in women with PCOS in accordance with HOMA-IR. ADM could be a significant independent determinant of insulin resistance in women with PCOS.
