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

objectiveStudy analyzes mutation in mtDNA (Mitochondrial DNA) among diabetic women with PCOS in non-diabetic diabetic women and compared with the healthy control. Women with known case of hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction and/or polycystic ovaries were selected and anthropometric and demographic variables were collected during their clinical visit. Biochemical estimation of glucose, FSH, LH, estradiol (E2), and insulin levels were analyzed. Mutational analysis of mt-tRNA genes of each individual was compared with the updated consensus Cambridge sequence. The mtDNA content was determined in triplicate using SYBR green PCR mastermix.

resultsThe clinical and biochemical characteristics of participants showed no statistical difference in age and/or FSH, PRL, E2, PRGE or fasting glucose value between patients of different groups. Women with PCOS-D had significantly higher LH, LH/FSH, TT and fasting insulin levels and HOMA-IR with respect to the control group. Ten different type of mutation were seen in POCS group. Most of these mutations were confined to evolutionarily conserved region. The mtDNA copy numbers were considerably lower PCOS group irrespective of diabetic status. To conclude, the current study inferred that the mutations occur in the mitochondrial genome, mt-tRNA in specific, are the important causal factor in PCOS.
