Psychiatric disorders in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Endocrine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05864690 (Prevalence of Anxiety Disorders, Depression and Related Factors in Vietnamese Infertile Women With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
purposePolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common disorder affecting up to 15% of women in the reproductive age. Prior studies suggest that PCOS can be associated with mood and psychiatric disorders. The purpose of this study is to examine the prevalence of any psychiatric disorder in women with PCOS.
methodsWe searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Scopus through February 08, 2017 for studies that examined the prevalence of any psychiatric disorder in adolescents or adults with a clinical or biochemical diagnosis of PCOS. We used a random-effects model to generate pooled estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsWe included 57 studies reporting on 172,040 patients. The majority of studies addressed depression and anxiety. Studies had fair methodological quality although most estimates were unadjusted. Women with PCOS were more likely to have a clinical diagnosis of depression (odds ratio (OR), 2.79; 95% CI, 2.23-3.50), anxiety (OR, 2.75; 95% CI, 2.10-3.60), bipolar disorder (OR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.43-2.23) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) (OR, 1.37; 95% CI 1.22-1.55), but not social phobia or panic disorder. Using various scales, the severity of symptoms of depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and somatization disorders were higher compared to women without PCOS.
conclusionsPCOS is associated with an increased risk of diagnosis of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder. It is associated with worse symptoms of depression, anxiety, OCD, and somatization. Screening for these disorders to allow early intervention may be warranted.
