Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 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: Mental health disorders accompanying polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are important but underestimated aspects. There is paucity of literature (Indian) regarding the association of PCOS and eating disorders. Objectives were-(1) know the distribution of PCOS patients across sociodemographic variables-age, BMI and parity. (2) Know the distribution of PCOS patients according to menstrual history. (3) Know the relative frequency (percentage) of different eating disorders (binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa) in the study population. (4) Analyze association between eating disorders and PCOS in comparison with normal age-matched controls by eating disorder examination questionnaire (EDE-Q) scores. Methods: This institution-based cross-sectional observational study included consecutive 50 diagnosed PCOS patients of age 16-40 years giving explicit consent & equal number of age-matched controls. Patients with other concomitant diagnosed gynecological disorders and pregnancy were excluded. Study variables were-(1) age, (2) BMI, (3) parity, (4) menstrual status, (5) eating disorders and (6) EDE-Q subscale scores and global score. Results: Mean age of PCOS patients is 26.56 ± 4.33 years. Majority of PCOS patients were overweight, nulliparous and oligomenorrheic with binge eating disorder (52%). Majority of control women were overweight, nulliparous and eumenorrheic without any eating disorder (88%). Independent t-test showed statistically significant differences between PCOS patients with eating disorder and non-PCOS control women with eating disorder in EDE-Q global score and eating concern, shape concern and weight concern subscale scores, but no significant difference was observed in restraint subscale score. Conclusion: Statistically significant association found between PCOS and eating disorder across all domains except restraint domain. Therefore, it is important to raise awareness and provide education to women about disordered eating in PCOS. Formalized treatment guidelines, collaborative multidisciplinary effort and high degree of clinical suspicion are required in health professionals for timely diagnosis of both disorders to promote lifestyle management early on to prevent complications.
