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

Objectives: This systematic review aimed to assess the association between the oral microbiota and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and elucidate its potential clinical significance. Materials and methods: A comprehensive search of eight databases and other sources from inception to 13 January 2026, identified 10 eligible studies from 310 records, involving 334 PCOS patients and analyzed oral microbiota species and their clinical parameters correlation. Results: Oral microbiota alterations in PCOS women showed consistent and heterogeneous features, with Conclusions: Oral microbiota alterations in PCOS are characterized by consistent
