The impact of dietary interventions on polycystic ovary syndrome patients with a BMI ≥25 kg/m
Review in Reproductive medicine and biology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Background: Dietary interventions, recommended as a primary approach globally, benefit women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) by inducing weight loss and improving clinical symptoms, metabolism, and pregnancy results. However, the impact of diet on PCOS in individuals with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m Methods: Six databases, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, were searched systematically from inception to December 2023 for clinical randomized controlled trials (RCT) on dietary interventions for PCOS. Two researchers independently screened and extracted data following pre-defined inclusion criteria, with bias assessment using the Cochrane Handbook and Review Manager (version 5.4) software. Results: Nine RCTs with 559 participants were included. Among women with PCOS and obesity, compared to the control group, individuals who underwent dietary interventions experienced improvements in weight-related Indicators, glycolipid metabolism, hormone-related indicators, and fertility-related outcomes. Subgroup analysis indicated that calorie-restricted diets (CRDs) and low-energy-low-carb combined diets had advantages over other dietary interventions. Moreover, the overweight period was the optimal intervention period. Conclusions: Dietary interventions can improve the clinical manifestations of PCOS and pregnancy rates in patients with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m
