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

backgroundInsulin resistance (IR) and central obesity are common in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but pathomechanisms for IR in PCOS are not established. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are non-invasive biomarkers of epigenetic regulation that may contribute to the pathogenesis of IR and central adiposity in PCOS.

methodsWe conducted a pilot study to examine associations of circulating miRNAs with IR and central adiposity among women with PCOS (n = 11) using high-throughput miRNA sequencing. We fit generalized linear models examining associations of waist circumference and HOMA-IR with plasma miRNAs. We used false discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted cutoff p < 0.1 to correct for multiple testing. We used miRDB's Gene Ontology (GO) tool to identify predicted pathways for top hits.

resultsMean age and BMI of participants were 27.9 years and 32.5 kg/m

conclusionsPlasma miR-1294 along with members of the miR-17/92 cluster and miRNAs involved in insulin signaling may be associated with central obesity and insulin resistance in PCOS. Larger studies among women with and without PCOS are needed to validate these findings.
