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

introductionPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous, multisystem endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age manifested with various metabolic disturbances and a wide spectrum of clinical features such as obesity, menstrual abnormalities and hyperandrogenism. Hyperinsulinemia was noted in 50% to 70% of PCOS patients and plays a central role in the development of further complications. The prevalence of obesity in PCOS ranges from 38% to 87%. It has been reported in previous studies that the prevalence of insulin resistance (IR) is higher in obese PCOS women than obesity without PCOS.
