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

purposeThyroid dysfunction and autoimmune thyroiditis are associated with fertility in women of reproductive age. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a known biomarker of ovarian function, may be affected by impaired thyroid function; however, the relationship between AMH and thyroid hormone has not been elucidated.

methodsIn this case-control study, to identify the impact of thyroid hormone on ovarian reserve, we recruited 67 consecutive Japanese infertile patients and 27 normal fertile women aged 30-39 years without impact factors on thyroid and ovarian functions between 2012 and 2013. We assessed patient age, BMI and AMH, prolactin, TSH and FT4 levels of all study participations as independent variables. To evaluate the relationship between AMH and thyroid hormone, we matched patients by age and body mass index as confounding factors using 1:1 matching for statistical analysis of healthy fertile women and infertile patients and obtained 23 pairs. Then, independent variables were subjected to multiple regression analysis.

resultsMultiple regression analysis showed that both thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and patient age were negatively correlated with AMH levels in infertile patients (patient age and TSH: standardized partial regression coefficient (β), -0.534 and -0.361; p = 0.003 and 0.036, respectively), but not in normal fertile women.

conclusionsAMH levels were inversely correlated with TSH levels in infertile women of reproductive age.
