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

Hyperandrogenism is associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), acne, and alopecia. In PCOS, subcutaneous fat has been shown to contribute to hyperandrogenism through increased testosterone (T) production which is accompanied by an increase in the intra-adipose 5α-dihydrotestosterone (5α-DHT):T ratio. However, whether 5α-DHT is produced in isolated adipocytes is uncertain. Here we investigated the ability of subcutaneous human adipocytes to synthesize and inactivate 5α-DHT in a model of subcutaneous white adipocytes, Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS) cells, and primary adipocytes. We quantified the transcripts of genes involved in the biosynthesis of 5α-DHT (
