Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo explore the weight management experiences and needs of obese polycystic ovary syndrome patients of reproductive age in China.
methodThirteen patients were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Sichuan province. Face-to-face structured interviews were conducted using a phenomenological approach, with data analyzed via Colaizzi seven-step method.
resultsKey weight management methods identified included medication, diet, exercise, and habit correction. Coping attitudes varied, with some patients exhibiting positive or negative responses. Experiences revealed short-term adherence to dietary control but difficulty maintaining exercise routines. Patients expressed a need for support from medical staff and family, as well as interest in medications and traditional Chinese medicine to aid weight loss.
conclusionInsights into the weight management experiences and needs of obese PCOS patients can guide medical staff in addressing these challenges. Attention to patients' and families' emotional well-being during weight management is also crucial for effective intervention.
