Gut Microbiome Composition in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Adult Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Observational Studies.

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
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine and metabolic disorder that is frequently linked to anovulation in women who are experiencing infertility. Intestinal flora, also known as the "second genome" of the host, is closely associated with chronic metabolic diseases. Recently, there has been increasing attention on the connection between PCOS and the gut microbiome, and experiments have been conducted. However, the results were unsatisfactory and inconsistent. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature investigating the associations between the gut microbiome and PCOS in adults. The goal is to identify whether there are changes in the composition of the gut microbiome in individuals with PCOS. This is the first systematic review to focus on functional alterations in the gut microbiome, which could provide insights into potential mechanisms of microbial involvement in the development of PCOS. We found that there was no significant change in gut microbiome biodiversity in PCOS. Meta-analyses of three studies revealed a significantly higher abundance of Proteobacteria (1.12, 95% CI, 0.21, 2.02, I
