The impact of polycystic ovary syndrome on attention: an empirical investigation.
Article in BioPsychoSocial medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPolycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrinal dysfunction characterized by androgen excess, irregular or absent menstruation, and polycystic ovarian morphology. While extensive research is conducted on the biochemical and medical ramifications of PCOS. However, there is not much research on cognitive mechanisms, especially attention. Attention is the fundamental cognitive ability that influences other cognitive and psychological phenomena. Therefore, the present study attempts to investigate the effect of PCOS on attention.
methodsFlanker's task examining focussed attention and Posner's cueing task measuring divided attention was administered to 173 female participants, of which 101 constituted the PCOS group and the remaining were control. The Analysis of Variance was used to analyze the data.
resultsThese findings demonstrated that the PCOS group took longer in focused attention, 557.21 milliseconds (SD = 169.70), compared to the reaction time of 462.88 milliseconds (SD = 120.80) in divided attention. Concerning accuracy, the PCOS group made more errors in the focused attention task at 0.98 (SD = 0.41), while for the divided attention task, it was 0.99 (SD = 0.27).
conclusionsWomen with PCOS showed more error and slower reaction time in focused attention.
