Prevalence and Odds of Developing Sexual Dysfunction in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Journal of family & reproductive health, 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
Objective: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCO) suffer from a wide range of psychological difficulties such as sexual dysfunction (SD). In different countries, sexual dysfunction has been evaluated in women with PCO, but the results differ between studies. So, we designed this systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the pooled prevalence of sexual dysfunction and to assess the odds of SD among women with PCO compared with controls. Materials and methods: PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, Google Scholar were systematically searched by two independent researchers on December 1 Results: A literature search revealed 1636 records, 84 full-texts were evaluated, and finally, 37 studies remained for systematic review. Most studies were published in 2023, followed by 2022. Most studies were from Iran, followed by Turkey. The prevalence of SD in women with PCO ranged between 4% and 99%, and the pooled prevalence was estimated as 73% (95%CI: 72%-74%, fixed-effect model) (I Conclusion: This meta-analysis demonstrates a significantly higher prevalence of sexual dysfunction in women with PCO, emphasizing the need for routine sexual health assessment and holistic management, including psychological support, hormonal regulation, and lifestyle interventions.
