The Effect of Exercise Training on Body Composition, Insulin Resistance and High Sensitivity C-reactive Protein (Hs-CRP) in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Pilot Study From North India.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is defined as clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenism, oligo/amenorrhea, and polycystic ovaries with or without increased ovarian volume. The goal of this study was to assess the effect of a 20-week home-based aerobic exercise programme on body composition, insulin resistance, and hs-CRP levels in women with PCOS. Methods This 12-month prospective study included 60 female patients diagnosed with PCOS, aged 20 to 40 years. The participants were divided into 2 groups, one for the experiment and the other for the control. For each participant, the 12-hour fasting blood samples were taken on two occasions i.e., 24 hours before the first session and 48 hours after the last session to measure the fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and hs-CRP. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to conduct the analysis, and an association was considered significant when the p-value was less than 0.05. Results In the present study, there was a dropout rate of 16.7% (5/30) in the study group and 23.3% (7/30) in the control group. The baseline characteristics were comparable (p>0.05) between the study group and the control group during the enrolment. The BMI (kg/m
