Impact of mean arterial pressure on reproductive endocrine characteristics in infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome: a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial.

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
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the association between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and anthropometric, metabolic, and endocrine parameters in Chinese infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: A total of 1,000 PCOS subjects were enrolled in the clinical trial project of Acupuncture and Clomiphene in the treatment of PCOS infertility patients (PCOSAct). Of these, 998 patients were selected for this study. Linear trends and regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the association between MAP and anthropometric, metabolic, and endocrine parameters. Logistic regression was employed to estimate the association between MAP and risk of insulin resistance (IR), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and hyperlipidemia. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was used to determine the predictive value of the MAP for IR, NAFLD and hyperlipidemia. Results: Linear trends revealed that the MAP was positively associated with age, height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), hirsutism score, and acanthosis nigricans score, fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS), the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), ApoB/apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) ratio, total testosterone (TT), and free androgen index (FAI), as well as the prevalence of IR, metabolic syndrome (MetS), NAFLD, and hyperlipidemia. Conversely, MAP was negatively correlated with the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), luteinizing hormone (LH), the LH/follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio, and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). After adjusting for age and BMI, a significant linear relationship was observed between MAP and WC, WHR, hirsutism score, FBG, LDL, TG, TC, ApoB, and ApoB/ApoA1 ratio. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that participants in the highest quartile (Q4) of MAP had no significantly higher odds ratios (OR) for IR, NAFLD and hyperlipidemia after adjusting for confounding factors. The ROC curve analysis indicated that the AUC Conclusion: Elevated MAP is associated with dysregulation of glucose and lipid metabolism and alterations in endocrine hormone levels. It may thus serve as a promising screening approach for IR-related conditions in patients with PCOS.
