Pharmacological management of polycystic ovary syndrome.
Review in Australian prescriber, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Who cites it

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common and frequently undiagnosed female endocrine disorder that is associated with diverse symptoms and features, and an increased risk of long-term chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Pharmacotherapy for polycystic ovary syndrome should be directed at the key concerns of the individual patient. The combined oral contraceptive pill or metformin may be prescribed for irregular periods. The combined oral contraceptive pill is preferred over antiandrogens for treatment of hirsutism and acne. Metformin is of benefit for reducing excess body weight and improving hormonal and metabolic outcomes in those with high metabolic risk (e.g. body mass index greater than 25 kg/m
