In one paragraph

Article in Current opinion in endocrine and metabolic research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07169136 (Effects of Glucagon-like Peptide-1), which is not on this map. Cited by 34 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

Although the fundamental symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) relate most directly to ovarian dysfunction, central neuroendocrine systems play a prominent role in its pathophysiology. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulse generator resistance to negative feedback contributes to rapid GnRH pulse secretion, which promotes gonadotropin abnormalities that foster ovarian hyperandrogenemia and ovulatory dysfunction. The causes of GnRH neuron dysfunction, however, have remained enigmatic. In this review, we highlight a number of recent preclinical and clinical studies pertinent to the neuroendocrine abnormalities of PCOS, including those that have provided important insights into the relevance of animal models with PCOS-like features, the potential roles of kisspeptin and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic neurons, and the potential role of anti-Müllerian hormone.
