Dissociation of plasma oxyntomodulin levels from anthropometric measures and metabolic markers in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Article in Archives of endocrinology and metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionOxyntomodulin (OXM) is a polypeptide hormone of the incretin family, which binds to the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor, contributing to a reduction in caloric intake, an increase in energy expenditure, and weight loss in obese individuals. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifactorial condition characterized by reproductive and metabolic dysfunctions, with a high prevalence among overweight and obese women. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between clinical, anthropometric, endocrine, and metabolic variables and plasma OXM levels in women diagnosed with PCOS. SUBJECTS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 20 women recently diagnosed with PCOS. Participants underwent screening that assessed body measurements, as well as serum/plasma lipids, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, irisin, and total testosterone levels. Plasma OXM concentrations were measured in duplicate using a commercial ELISA kit.
resultsOXM levels were positively correlated with age (r = 0.493, p = 0.027); however, they showed no significant correlation with body mass index, waist circumference, lipid accumulation product index, visceral adiposity index, or hormones such as insulin, irisin, and testosterone. Furthermore, plasma OXM levels remained unchanged in a subgroup of patients treated with metformin for 60 days.
conclusionThese findings suggest that plasma OXM levels may not reflect body composition or insulin resistance in women with PCOS.
