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

key messagesOvulatory dysfunction is the most common female cause of infertility in the UK.Polycystic ovarian syndrome is associated with oligo-ovulation and Type 2 diabetes.Good glycaemic control is essential before getting pregnant to prevent congenital malformations and miscarriages in young women with Type 2 diabetes.Metformin is safe in the first trimester and reduces the rate of miscarriages and gestational diabetes.Labetalol, methyldopa and hydralazine are deemed safer in pregnancy.Women should not conceive on statins due their potential teratogenic effects. WHY THIS MATTERS TO ME: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a frequently encountered condition in general practice and can have a significant impact on the quality of life of young women. Apart from addressing ovulatory problems in these women, it is important to remember to screen for other associated conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, hypertension or hypercholesterolaemia. This article outlines the pathophysiology of PCOS and its diagnostic pathways and also summarises the safety of medical management for the metabolic complications in pregnant women. It is important for healthcare professionals to be aware of the latest guidance for treatment of PCOS in order to provide high-standard evidencebased care.
