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

Objective: This study investigated the effect of letrozole with/without meridian-infusion percutaneous electrical stimulation on the rates of ovulation-induced pregnancy in patients with obese polycystic ovary syndrome (obPCOS). Materials and Methods: Patients with obPCOS, ages 20-40, each with a body mass index (BMI) ≥24 kg/m Results: From July 2021 to September 2022, 345 patients with obPCOS were recruited: 53 cases/69 cycles in the ZLT group and 292 cases/396 cycles in the control group. The 2 sets of baselines were flush. The anovulatory cycle rates were: ZLT, 2.89% (2/69); and control, 1.77% (7/396); Conclusions: Letrazole + ZLT had a positive effect on ovulation-induced pregnancy rates in patients with obPCOS.
