Article in Medical archives (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina), 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
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a significant hormonal disorder that primarily affects young women, has a substantial impact on both their health-related quality of life and their mental well-being. Objective: To assess the prevalence and patterns of body dysmorphia in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients in Kingdom of Bahrain and to reach a consensus regarding the relationship between body dysmorphia and PCOS. Methods: There were 132 participants involved in the study: 66 were control cases, 66 were PCOS cases. Each was given a survey form. The scoring was based on the Głębocka's self-perception scale and modified Ferriman-Gallwey hirsutism scale were used to assess about own perception to appearance, and pressure to change body shape. Results: Most of the PCOS patients in the Kingdom of Bahrain who are above 30 years old experienced body dysmorphia along with other physical changes in appearance and psychological disorders such as social anxiety and depression. About 86% of them have hirsutism which significantly affects their self-esteem and self-confidence within themselves. However, the average hair distribution volume ranges only from 1.82 to 2.53 in the different parts of the body. Conclusion: Body dysmorphia is prevalent in patients diagnosed with PCOS. It is important to understand that these manifestations of PCOS in women significantly impact their quality of life..
