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

backgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common gynecologic endocrinopathy, characterized by menstrual disorders, ovulation disorders, polycystic ovary, hyperandrogen syndrome and insulin resistance. At present, the etiology and exact pathogenesis of PCOS are still unclear. Anti-Müllerian hormone is a local regulator secreted by ovarian granulosa cells, and participates in regulating the occurrence and development of PCOS. Insulin resistance is another important pathophysiological feature of PCOS. Although the expression of anti-müllerian hormone receptor (AMHR) and insulin receptor (INSR) in PCOS have been previously reported, the DNA methylation of the genes have not been well characterized.

objectiveTo study AMHR II/INSR and its role in gene methylation in Ovarian and endometrial pathology of PCOS subjects.

methodsWe recruited seventy-five women with PCOS as cases and twenty healthy women as controls, using immunohistochemical method, study localization, distribution and expression of MHRII/INSR in ovary and endometrium and then discover the correlation of AMHRII/INSR gene methylation.

resultsDifferent clinical features in PCOS group AMHRII gene methylation level and insulin resistance relations have significant differences (r= 0.532, P= 0.000); INSR gene methylation level and insulin resistance relations have significant differences (r= 0.281, P= 0.03).

conclusionsThe analysis of DNA methylation suggested that methylation of AMHRII and INSR genes was associated with basic clinical characteristics and insulin resistance of PCOS. These results provide evidence for AMHRII and INSR genes, and their methylation levels are intimately associated with the pathogenesis of PCOS.
