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

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex disorder affecting approximately 5-10 percent of all women of reproductive age. It is a multi-factorial endocrine disorder, which demonstrates menstrual disturbance, infertility, anovulation, hirsutism, hyper androgenism and others. It has been indicated that differential expression of genes, genetic level variations, and other molecular alterations interplay in PCOS and are the target sites for clinical applications. Therefore, integrating the PCOS-associated genes along with its alteration and underpinning the underlying mechanism might definitely provide valuable information to understand the disease mechanism. We manually curated the information from 234 published literatures, including gene, molecular alteration, details of association, significance of association, ethnicity, age, drug, and other annotated summaries. PCOSDB is an online resource that brings comprehensive information about the disease, and the implication of various genes and its mechanism. We present the curated information from peer reviewed literatures, and organized the information at various levels including differentially expressed genes in PCOS, genetic variations such as polymorphisms, mutations causing PCOS across various ethnicities. We have covered both significant and non-significant associations along with conflicting studies. PCOSDB v1.0 contains 208 gene reports, 427 molecular alterations, and 46 phenotypes associated with PCOS.
