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

Hormonal alterations associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) also impact bone metabolism, though it is unclear if this is bone-protective or not. Bone marker dysfunction has been reported in PCOS and appears to be associated with obesity. This study sought to determine whether a panel of bone marker proteins (BMPs) would be dysregulated in PCOS stratified by BMI as a potential biomarker for bone in PCOS. In this exploratory cross-sectional study, plasma was collected from 234 women (137 with PCOS and 97 controls) from a biobank cohort and compared to a nonobese, non-insulin resistant population (24 with PCOS and 24 controls). Slow Off-rate Modified Aptamer (SOMA)-scan plasma protein measurement was undertaken for the following BMPs: sclerostin; Dickkopf-related protein-1; glycogen synthase kinase-3 alpha/beta; periostin; tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 11; fibroblast growth factor 23; sphingosine kinase 1; sphingosine kinase 2; cathepsins A, B, D, E, G, L2, S and Z; parathyroid hormone; osteocalcin; tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 11 (sRANKL) and interleukin-1 beta. Four BMPs differed in the PCOS cohort (whole set without matching for body mass index (BMI) or insulin resistance (IR)): periostin (
