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

purposeThe aims of this study were to determining the reference value of anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) in infertile women and effect of AMH on different ovarian responses in the stratum of BMI categories.

methodsThrough a retrospective cohort study the information of 816 infertile patients referring to the referral infertility clinic of Mahdiyeh Hospital since the beginning of 2011 until the end of January 2016 were used. The normal-based method was undertaken to calculate age-specific AMH percentiles. To determine the effect of AMH on the outcomes of different ovarian responses following adjustment of associated variables, the multinomial regression model was used.

resultsEstimated reference intervals for AMH corresponding to the 2.5 and 97.5th‰ in patients with normal ovarian response are from 0.096 to 6.2 ng/mL. These values for percentiles of 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, and 95% are, respectively, 0.18, 0.33, 0.77, 1.68, 3.05, 4.45, and 5.36 ng/dL. Also the reference value for the 20-year-old participants has a maximum range (0.12-7.64), while for 43-year-old ones has the lowest range (0.08-5.3). Among participants under and above 35 years old, the optimal cut-off points for predicting normal ovarian response are, respectively, 1.5 and 1.2 ng/dL. With each unit increase in the log of AMH concentration, the odds of having excessive ovarian response in patients with normal weight compared to that of having normal ovarian response is 32% higher.

conclusionsDetermining AMH reference values in IVF candidates allows specialists to measure only AMH plasma levels in IVF candidates so as to find whether or not the ovarian response is normal before applying other therapeutic measures; accordingly, they can adjust a treatment plan for each individual separately.
