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

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common reproductive, endocrine, and metabolic disorders in premenopausal women. Clinically, PCOS is mainly caused by androgen excess and ovarian dysfunction, manifested by anovulatory menstrual cycles, infertility, and hirsutism. In addition, PCOS increases the risk of insulin resistance, obesity, cardiovascular disease, anxiety and depression, dyslipidemia, and endometrial cancer. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is defined as ≥5% fat accumulation in the liver in the absence of remaining secondary causes and has become one of the most common chronic liver diseases worldwide. The prevalence of NAFLD is significantly higher and more severe in women with PCOS, and its pathogenesis can be associated with various risk factors such as hyperandrogenemia, insulin resistance, obesity, chronic low-grade inflammation, and genetic factors. Although there is no definitive solution for the management of NAFLD in PCOS, some progress has been made. Lifestyle modification should be the basis of management, and drugs to improve metabolism, such as insulin sensitizers and glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists, may show better efficacy. Bariatric surgery may also be a treatment of NAFLD in obese women with PCOS. This paper reviews three aspects of prevalence, risk factors, and management, in order to better understand the current state of research on NAFLD in PCOS, to explore the pathogenesis of NAFLD in PCOS, and to encourage further research on the application of drugs in this field.
