GnRH-receptor antagonism as a targeted approach to reproductive dysfunction in polycystic ovary syndrome.
Article in EBioMedicine, 2026. 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
backgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), recently renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), is characterised by neuroendocrine dysfunction with accelerated gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH)/luteinising hormone (LH) pulsatility driving hyperandrogenism and anovulatory infertility.
methodsWe used the prenatal anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH)-exposed PMOS-like mouse model (PAMH) and a phase I clinical trial in women with PMOS without obesity. PAMH and control mice received acute or intermittent low-dose Ganirelix, and oestrous cyclicity, ovulation, gonadotrophins, and steroids were assessed. In women, two subtherapeutic Ganirelix doses (0.025 mg, n = 8; 0.0625 mg, n = 10) were administered once in early follicular phase, with 10-min blood sampling over 8 h to quantify LH pulsatility and reproductive hormones.
findingsIn PMOS-like mice, a single Ganirelix injection normalised exaggerated LH pulsatility, and six-week intermittent treatment restored oestrous cyclicity, ovulation, and testosterone levels without affecting controls. In women with PMOS both Ganirelix doses reduced LH pulse frequency, basal, mean and total LH, and decreased the LH/FSH ratio. D4-androstenedione fell by 25-30% at both doses, AMH declined modestly at 0.0625 mg, while oestradiol remained unchanged.
interpretationLow-dose GnRH-receptor antagonism with Ganirelix can recalibrate, rather than suppress, GnRH/LH signalling, attenuating hyperandrogenism and, in mice, restoring ovulatory function. These data identify partial GnRHR blockade as a promising neuroendocrine-centred strategy in PMOS and provide a rationale for phase II trials evaluating repeated low-dose regimens, ovulatory restoration, and fertility outcomes.
