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.

2 · The registry

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: Global infertility affects over 186 million women, posing significant health and societal challenges. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most prevalent endocrine disorder among reproductive-aged women, often characterized by inflammatory dysregulation. Dietary factors exacerbate insulin resistance and ovulatory dysfunction in PCOS through heightened inflammation. Improving diet quality may mitigate hyperinsulinemia, hyperandrogenism, and inflammation, thereby reducing complications such as infertility. This study examines diet quality using the healthy eating index (HEI) and the dietary inflammatory index (DII) in women with PCOS experiencing infertility. Methods: This case-control study enrolled 80 infertile patients diagnosed with PCOS, alongside 80 healthy individuals without PCOS. Dietary inflammatory Index (DII) and healthy eating index (HEI) scores were computed using a 168-item food frequency questionnaire. Spearman's correlation test was employed to assess variable relationships, and logistic regression was conducted to identify factors influencing PCOS risk. Results: PCOS patients exhibited higher mean DII scores compared to controls (- 2.24 ± 0.80 vs. - 2.57 ± 0.93) and lower HEI scores (55.74 ± 4.89 vs. 58.64 ± 7.16). Adjusted analyses revealed significant inverse relationships between dietary inflammatory and health indices and PCOS risk. Comparison with CRP levels showed significant associations ( Conclusion: This study highlights the significant associations between DII, HEI, and the risk of infertility and PCOS. Improving diet quality may mitigate inflammation and associated PCOS complications, offering potential avenues for intervention and prevention strategies.
