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

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine condition in women of reproductive age, characterized also by insulin resistance, affecting both obese and non-obese individuals. Hyperprolactinemia in patients with PCOS may additionally aggravate the decline in insulin sensitivity, attributable to prolactin lipogenic effects and influence on metabolic profile. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the serum levels of prolactin in women with PCOS and their associations with obesity, insulin resistance and prediabetes. A retrospective monocentric study was performed using the electronic database of 157 women diagnosed with PCOS. Serum prolactin, BMI, complete glucose-insulin profile and insulin resistance indices following OGTT were determined. The women with hyperprolactinemia (40.8%) had significantly higher BMI (
