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
contextWomen with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) report dissatisfaction with their early medical care. Little is understood about factors that can encourage stronger patient-provider relationships and promote treatment adherence.
objectiveTo compare trust in physicians and beliefs about social support from health care providers between women with and without PCOS.
designCross-sectional study with online questionnaire.
settingMedical clinic referral or broader community recruitment via advertising and websites.
participantsThree hundred thirty-two US-based women with PCOS or with regular menses (n = 134 and n = 198, respectively).
main outcome measuresTrust and social support toward health care providers [primary care physicians (PCPs), specialists, and/or nurse practitioners and physician assistants].
resultsPCOS was associated with greater distrust in the PCP's opinion (
conclusionWomen with PCOS reported greater overall distrust in the PCP's opinions and more arguments with their health care providers than women without PCOS. These findings support a need to identify additional areas of improvement in the patient-provider relationship to ensure continuity of care for patients with PCOS who require life-long surveillance.
