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

There is limited data on the impact of bariatric surgery on polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) especially in the Indian population.

backgroundTo study the impact of bariatric surgery in women with PCOS in terms of clinical, hormonal, and radiological aspects of polycystic ovarian syndrome.

methodsA prospective observational study of 50 women who underwent bariatric surgery at our tertiary care center. Evaluation of anthropometric data and menstrual cyclicity as well as markers of hyperandrogenism was done preoperatively and at 3- and 6-month and 1-year follow-up.

resultsEighteen (36%) women were diagnosed to have PCOS. % EWL at 3-months (n = 14), 6-month (n = 14), and 1-year (n = 11) follow-up was 31%, 49%, and 63% respectively among women with PCOS. All females regained their normal menstrual cycle at 3 months of follow-up. Hirsutism resolved completely among 44% (5/11) with a decline in median hirsutism score from 11 to 9 at 1-year follow-up. Mean serum testosterone decreased from 0.83 ± 0.38 ng/ml preoperatively to 0.421 ± 0.25 ng/ml at 1-year follow-up (p ˂ 0.01), whereas changes in levels of serum LH and FSH were not significant. Seventy-seven percent of females (14/18) had polycystic ovaries preoperatively on USG; out of which, 55% (i.e., 4/7) showed complete resolution at 1-year follow-up. Metabolic syndrome resolved completely at 1-year follow-up in both PCOS and non PCOS group.

conclusionsBariatric surgery results in an effective and sustained weight loss with improvement in clinical, hormonal, and radiological parameters associated with PCOS.
