Trial report in Journal of ovarian research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03608813 (Effects of a Combined Treatment With Myo-inositol, D-chiro-inositol and Glucomannan in Women With PCOS), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

backgroundPolycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a highly variable syndrome and one of the most common female endocrine disorders. Although the association inositols-glucomannan may represent a good therapeutic strategy in the treatment of PCOS women with insulin resistance, the effect of inositols on the metabolomic profile of these women has not been described yet.

resultsFifteen PCOS-patients and 15 controls were enrolled. Patients were treated with myo-inositol (1.75 g/day), D-chiro-inositol (0.25 g/day) and glucomannan (4 g/day) for 3 months. Blood concentrations of glucose, insulin, triglycerides and cholesterol, and ovary volumes and antral follicles count, as well as metabolomic profiles, were evaluated for control subjects and for cases before and after treatment. PCOS-patients had higher BMI compared with Controls, BMI decreased significantly after 3 months of treatment although it remained significantly higher compared to controls. 3-methyl-1-hydroxybutyl-thiamine-diphosphate, valine, phenylalanine, ketoisocapric, linoleic, lactic, glyceric, citric and palmitic acid, glucose, glutamine, creatinine, arginine, choline and tocopherol emerged as the most relevant metabolites for distinguishing cases from controls.

conclusionOur pilot study has identified a complex network of serum molecules that appear to be correlated with PCOS, and with a combined treatment with inositols and glucomannan.
