Oxidative stress and the therapeutic potential of dietary antioxidants in polycystic ovary syndrome: a narrative review.
Review in Journal of ovarian research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
It is becoming more well acknowledged that oxidative stress is a crucial component that connects the hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive aspects of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). A more holistic and natural approach to managing the illness might be possible through lowering this disparity. This review outlines new findings about the effects of dietary antioxidants on critical processes related to PCOS, such as insulin signaling, inflammation, and mitochondrial activity. Antioxidants that have demonstrated encouraging effects in reducing oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and ovulatory health include N-acetylcysteine, coenzyme Q10, α-lipoic acid, and vitamins C and E. However, it's challenging to draw definitive findings due to limited intervention periods and variances in the study's methodology. More thorough, deeper, and more extensive standardized trials should be the main emphasis of future studies. Taken together, the results indicate that dietary antioxidants have significant medicinal value to help women with PCOS regain redox equilibrium and enhance their overall metabolic and reproductive health.
