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

backgroundWomen with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often change their metabolic profile over time to decrease levels of androgens while often gaining a propensity for the development of the metabolic syndrome. Recent discoveries indicate that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a role in the development of PCOS and constitute potential biomarkers for PCOS. We aimed to identify miRNAs associated with the development of an impaired metabolic profile in women with PCOS, in a follow-up study, compared with women without PCOS. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Clinical measurements of PCOS status and metabolic disease were obtained twice 6 years apart in a cohort of 46 women with PCOS and nine controls. All participants were evaluated for degree of metabolic disease (hypertension, dyslipidemia, central obesity, and impaired glucose tolerance). MiRNA levels were measured using Taqman

resultsWomen with PCOS decreased their levels of androgens during follow-up. Twenty-six of the miRNAs were significantly changed in circulation in women with PCOS during the follow-up, and twenty-four of them had decreased, while levels did not change in the control group. Four miRNAs were significantly different at baseline between healthy controls and women with PCOS; miR-103-3p, miR-139-5p, miR-28-3p, and miR-376a-3p, which were decreased in PCOS. After follow-up, miR-28-3p, miR-139-5p, and miR-376a-3p increased in PCOS women to the levels observed in healthy controls. Of these, miR-139-5p correlated with total testosterone levels (rho = 0.50, p

conclusionsThese studies indicate that miRNAs associated with PCOS and androgen metabolism overall decrease during a 6-year follow-up, reflecting the phenotypic change in PCOS individuals towards a less hyperandrogenic profile.
