Association between polycystic ovary syndrome and non-infectious uveitis.

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
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disease in young women. It has been reported that increased proinflammatory cytokines can induce systemic inflammation. However, the association between PCOS and uveitis remains elusive. In this study, we investigate the possible association between PCOS and uveitis using Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort. The incidence of non-infectious uveitis was compared between patients with and without PCOS before and after propensity score matching. Hazard ratios were determined using univariate and multivariate Cox regression models. Of 558,302 female participants, 2039 had PCOS and 8122 had non-infectious uveitis. The incidence of non-infectious uveitis was 35.1 per 10,000 person-years in the PCOS patients compared to 16.6 in non-patients (P < .001). This tendency remained after 1:3 propensity score matching. The hazard ratio of PCOS using a multivariate Cox regression model was 2.79 (95% CI, 1.92-4.05; P < .001) and 2.87 (95% CI, 1.77-4.67; P < .001) before and after matching, respectively. Our results suggests that PCOS is associated with non-infectious uveitis, particularly in women of reproductive age. This may be due to hormonal changes and proinflammatory factors. Future investigations should examine the clinical features and underlying mechanisms.
