The Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome - A Retrospective Cohort Analysis.
Article in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine, 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) presents the significant health concern globally, especially among women of reproductive age. Despite its prevalence and varied manifestations, diagnostic criteria remain inconsistent, with limited regional data, particularly in areas such as North Karnataka, India. Materials and Methods: This retrospective analysis aimed to fill these gaps by examining the prevalence and associated factors of PCOS in this region. Utilizing electronic medical records from Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara College of Medical Sciences and Hospital over 5 years, a cohort of 884 women diagnosed with PCOS was analyzed alongside an age-matched control group. The diagnosis of PCOS was based on the Rotterdam criteria. Results: The study found a PCOS prevalence of 70.3%, among the participants. Significant associations were observed between PCOS and factors such as age, marital status, physical activity, and BMI. Although obesity was prevalent among PCOS patients, dietary habits did not exhibit significant associations. Analysis of biochemical parameters highlighted hormonal dysregulation, emphasizing the importance of hormonal profiling in PCOS diagnosis. Conclusion: This study offers valuable insights into the epidemiology of PCOS in North Karnataka, highlighting the necessity for tailored interventions and further research to enhance comprehension and management of this complex syndrome.
