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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) gene p. Thr307Ala (c.919A>G, rs6165) and p. Asn680Ser (c.2039A>G, rs6166) polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

methodsGenotyping was performed in 377 women with PCOS and 388 age-matched controls. Difference in the genotype distribution was assessed using a Fisher's exact or chi-square test, and continuous variables were compared using a Student's t test. To evaluate the association between the presence of PCOS status and SNP, logistic regression analyses were performed.

resultsLinkage disequilibrium between the two polymorphisms was approximately complete (r

conclusionsFindings of this study suggest a significant association between FSHR gene p. Thr307Ala or p. Asn680Ser coding sequence change and PCOS. The variant homozygote genotype results in a higher risk of PCOS.
