Association of Kiss1 and GPR54 Gene Polymorphisms with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome among Sri Lankan Women.
Trial report in BioMed research international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 commonest endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age. Its aetiology, though yet unclear, is presumed to have an oligogenic basis interacting with environmental factors. Kisspeptins are peptide products of Kiss1 gene that control the hypothalamic pituitary (HPG) axis by acting via G protein-coupled receptor known as GPR54. There is paucity of data on the role of Kiss1 and GPR54 gene in PCOS. We aimed to identify the polymorphisms in Kiss1 and GPR54 genes and explore their association with serum kisspeptin levels among Sri Lankan women with well-characterized PCOS. Consecutive women with PCOS manifesting from adolescence (n=55) and adult controls (n=110) were recruited. Serum kisspeptin and testosterone levels were determined by ELISA method. Whole gene sequencing was performed to identify the polymorphisms in Kiss1 and GPR54 genes. Serum kisspeptin and testosterone concentrations were significantly higher in women with PCOS than controls: kisspeptin 4.873nmol/L versus 4.127nmol/L; testosterone 4.713nmol/L versus 3.415 nmol/L, p<0.05. Sequencing the GPR54 gene revealed 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs10407968, rs1250729403, rs350131, chr19:918686, and chr19:918735, with two novel SNPs (chr19:918686 and chr19:918735), while sequencing the Kiss1 gene revealed 2 SNPs, rs5780218 and rs4889. All identified SNPs showed no significant difference in frequency between patients and controls. GPR54 gene rs350131 polymorphism (G/T) was detected more frequently in our study population. The heterozygous allele (AG) of GPR54 gene novel polymorphism chr19:918686 showed a marginal association with serum kisspeptin levels (p=0.053). Genetic variations in GPR54 and Kiss1 genes are unlikely to be associated with PCOS among Sri Lankan women manifesting from adolescence. Meanwhile the heterozygous allele of chr19:918686 is probably associated with serum kisspeptin concentrations, which suggests a potential role in the aetiology of PCOS.
