EGOI-PCOS survey on the prevalence of respiratory disorders associated with polycystic ovary syndrome.

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
backgroundPolycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a multifaceted disorder that has also recently been associated with chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs). While several studies have highlighted that pulmonary health is frequently altered in women with PCOS and vice versa, no mechanistic investigation has elucidated an overlapped etiology, so far. Thus, in the present survey we explored the frequency of respiratory issues in a population of PCOS patients, and the medical characteristics that possibly link the two diseases.
resultsA total of 353 women participated in the survey. CRDs affected 27.4% of the surveyed PCOS patients, with asthma representing the most prevalent respiratory problem in 61.5% of cases. In 59.3% of women, respiratory and PCOS onset appaired at the same age and in 68% of cases first symptoms appeared in adolescence.
conclusionsWhile several authors have linked respiratory issues and menstrual disturbances, there are no available surveys that investigate the frequency of CRDs in PCOS patients. Despite their qualitative nature, our results sustain previous indications on a possible link between CRDs and PCOS. In future, appropriate studies may elucidate possible etiological mechanisms joining respiratory health to PCOS.
