Effect of acarbose combined with diet intervention on glycolipid metabolism in patients with primary polycystic ovarian syndrome complicated with impaired glucose tolerance.

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
Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of acarbose combined with diet intervention in patients with primary polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) complicated with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and its effect on their glycolipid metabolism. Methods: A total of 92 patients with primary PCOS complicated with IGT treated in our hospital from December 2018 to December 2020 were selected, and divided into two groups using a random number table. The control group received routine lifestyle intervention. On this basis, the observation group was treated with acarbose combined with diet intervention. The menstrual recovery rate, ovulation rate and pregnancy rate after treatment, as well as sex hormone levels, glycolipid metabolism and inflammatory factor levels before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results: After treatment, the menstrual recovery rate and ovulation rate of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group ( Conclusions: The application of acarbose combined with diet intervention in patients with primary PCOS complicated with IGT can effectively enhance the efficacy, help patients increase ovulation rate and pregnancy rate, and improve sex hormone levels, glycolipid metabolism and inflammatory factor levels.
