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

Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder with significant metabolic and reproductive effects. Although various nutritional strategies have been studied, an overarching review of nutrition-focused research in PCOS remains limited. This study aimed to present a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of this research area. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using publications from the Web of Science and Scopus databases from 2004 to 2024. Two independent reviewers screened the studies. Bibliometric indicators and network visualizations were analyzed via Microsoft Excel, the Results: A total of 1,248 publications met the inclusion criteria. The United States, Iran, and China were the top contributing countries. Notable authors with strong collaborative networks included Teede HJ, Escobar-Morreale HF, and Moran LJ. Keyword co-occurrence analysis identified four primary thematic clusters: lifestyle modifications, hormonal/fertility-related issues, metabolic disturbances, and dietary interventions. Burst analysis and timeline mapping have led to a growing research focus on emerging topics such as "gut microbiota," "ketogenic diet," and "oxidative stress." Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of two decades of nutrition-related PCOS research. These highlights increasing scientific interest in dietary strategies and highlights key emerging themes, such as the gut microbiota, ketogenic diets, and oxidative stress.
