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 ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 6-19% of reproductive-age women worldwide, yet diagnosis remains challenging due to heterogeneous presentations and symptoms overlapping with other endocrine disorders. Recent studies have shown that gut dysbiosis plays a significant role in PCOS pathophysiology, with bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) functioning as critical mediators of the gut-ovary axis. BEVs carry distinct cargos in PCOS patients-including specific miRNAs and inflammatory proteins-and show promise for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a promising significant tool in PCOS research due to improved diagnostic accuracy and the capability to analyze complex datasets combining microbiome, BEV, and clinical parameters. These integrated approaches have the potential to better address PCOS multifactorial nature, enabling improved phenotypic classification and personalized treatment strategies. This review examines recent advances in the last 25 years in microbiome, BEV, and AI applications in PCOS research using PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. We explore the diagnostic potential of the AI-driven analysis of microbiome and BEV profiles, and address ethical considerations including data privacy and algorithmic bias. As these technologies continue to evolve, they hold increasing potential for the improvement of PCOS diagnosis and management, including the development of safer, more precise, and effective interventions.
