Article in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. 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) is one of the most prevalent endocrinopathies in women of reproductive age. This condition can increase the risk of physical and mental diseases. Improvement in medicine has led to increased Quality of Life (QOL), which can change patients' perception regarding their chronic condition. Therefore, this study was carried out to understand the impact of scientific progress on the view of women with PCOS toward their disease. Materials and Methods: This qualitative study was based on the conventional content analysis approach. It was carried out using purposive sampling on 18 women with PCOS between April 2021 and January 2022, in Kerman, Iran. Semi-structured, face-to-face, in-depth interviews were conducted. After transcribing the recorded interviews, the texts were reviewed several times. The data were analyzed using conventional content analysis. The codes, subthemes, and main themes were extracted according to the opinions of experts in qualitative sciences. Results: As a result of the content analysis of codes, two themes (hope and fear), six main categories (infertility treatment, outward appearance, support, presence in the community, decreased relationship and intimacy with spouse, and complications of the disease and the need for complementary treatments), and 30 subcategories were obtained. Conclusions: According to the findings, it is better to develop programs to improve the QOL and the treatment process of these patients in terms of spiritual, psychological, financial, and informational support, which can be implemented by health and medical personnel and managers of various categories of medical sciences, associations, and charities.
