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

For up to eight years after menarche, adolescents are in a developmental stage where PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) symptoms are physiological. The diagnostic criteria for PCOS in adult women therefore only partially apply. A new German S2k guideline and the international PCOS guideline of 2023 provide standardized diagnostic criteria for hyperandrogenemia and menstrual disorders in adolescence. The provisional diagnosis of PCOS at risk has been introduced for adolescents who only partially meet the criteria and this diagnosis must be revisited three and eight years after menarche. Recommendations for therapy focus on providing information and lifestyle advice to adolescents and on the prevention and treatment of possible comorbidities such as obesity, insulin resistance and hypertension. This paper presents an overview of a structured diagnostic workup and therapeutic approaches to support adolescents with PCOS.
