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 the most common endocrine disorder affecting 5 - 10% of all women of reproductive age group. The present research was carried out to study the impact of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor (PAI-1) 4G/5G polymorphism (rs1799889) in PCOS, and the risk of developing PCOS in South Indian Population. The study was carried out in 60 subjects of South Indian population (30 PCOS and 30 Non PCOS) recruited from ARC Research and Fertility Centre, Chennai, India. Genotype and Allelic frequencies were compared by Fisher exact test, Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. The Genotype frequency difference between PCOS and non-PCOS was observed as statistically non-significant (p=0.4647, OR=1.3077, 95% CI 0.63-2.68). The allelic frequency distribution in Spontaneous Abortion (SAB) cases in total subjects is not found to be statistically significant (p=0. 29), however the PCOS women carrying mutant homozygous and heterozygous genotype are more prone to recurrent pregnancy loss. Out of 17 Implantation failure cases, 23.52% were found to carry mutant homozygous (4G/4G), and 66.66% carried mutant heterozygous (4G/5G), and 5.88% carried wild type homozygous (5G/5G), the allelic difference was highly significant with 4G (62.5%), and 5G (37.5%). P value is highly significant and recorded at p=0.0164. The positive correlation between PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphism and PCOS risk was not observed in this study, however, the correlation between Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) and Implantation failures were observed in PCOS cases.
