Effect of Curcumin on Glycaemic and Lipid Parameters in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Synthesis in Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06590012 (Prospective Double-Blinded Randomized Placebo-controlled Multicenter Study Evaluating the Impact of Dietary Supplement "Tertinat" on Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in ATherosclerotic Patients After Coronary Revascularization Surgery.), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous condition that affects women of reproductive age. It is associated with menstrual disturbances, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries. In addition to this, it results in altered anthropometric parameters, insulin resistance, and subsequently untoward cardio-metabolic sequelae. Therapeutic approaches that target weight loss and improve insulin sensitivity are used to address the metabolic complications in PCOS. Curcumin is a phytochemical which exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, and therefore, its use in PCOS has been a subject of substantial interest and research. The aim of this study was to synthesize the existing evidence on the effects of curcumin on glycaemic and lipid parameters in PCOS. We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and ClinicalTrials databases from inception to June 07, 2021. Only randomized controlled trials (RCT) presenting sufficient data on glycemic and lipid parameters in patients with PCOS at baseline and the end of the follow-up period in each group were included. Meta-analysis of five RCTs showed a significant reduction on fasting glucose (WMD: - 3.68 mg/dL, 95% CI: - 5.11, - 2.25, p < 0.00001, I
