Weight Management in Adolescents with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
Review in Current obesity reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purpose of reviewPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition that clinically presents during adolescence. PCOS is associated with increased rates of overweight and obesity, as well as higher rates of metabolic disease, especially type 2 diabetes. Weight loss decreases PCOS symptoms and risk for metabolic disease. The goal of this review is to evaluate recent studies describing the hormonal, metabolic, and weight effects of different weight loss strategies: dietary, physical activity, pharmacotherapy, bariatric surgery, mood modification, and sleep. RECENT
findingsCalorie restriction continues to be supported as the primary nutrition intervention to achieve weight loss in individuals with PCOS, and a dietary macronutrient composition with lower compared to higher glycemic carbohydrates may be more effective. There is limited data that vitamins, nutraceuticals, and probiotics may improve hormonal and metabolic outcomes. Most types of physical activity are effective in improving outcomes in PCOS and lowering weight. Whereas there are promising data on anti-obesity medications such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in adults with PCOS and adolescents with obesity, further work is needed to know if these therapies are effective in youth with PCOS. Research is lacking on the effectiveness of other anti-obesity medications in PCOS. Bariatric surgery is especially promising for decreasing weight in adults and youth, and reversing type 2 diabetes in youth, though PCOS data are lacking. Treatment of depression in adolescents with insulin resistance and women with PCOS is associated with improved weight loss. Adolescents with PCOS and obesity may have greater sleep-related risks including circadian misalignment and obstructive sleep apnea, interventions for which have not yet been conducted. Clinical trials on weight loss strategies in adolescents with PCOS remain limited, with most information inferred from studies in women with PCOS or adolescents with obesity. However, there are multiple options to optimize weight loss in dietary, activity, pharmacotherapy, bariatric surgery, mood modification, and sleep domains.
