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

backgroundTo evaluate role of AMH as a diagnostic tool for PCOS.

methodsThis was a prospective case-control study on women attending Gynae OPD of Dr RML Hospital, New Delhi, from 1 November 2015 to 31 March 2017. Study comprised of 45 women with PCOS, diagnosed using Rotterdam criteria and 45 women as controls. Clinical history included oligomenorrhea, hirsutism, examination included BMI, Ferriman-Gallwey score, investigations included blood for FSH, LH, estradiol, TSH, prolactin, total testosterone, AMH level and pelvic USG which was done for all women.

resultsBoth PCOS cases and control were matched for age and BMI. Median AMH levels of 4.32 ng/ml in PCOS cases was almost twice that of 2.32 ng/ml in controls (

conclusionAMH levels were significantly higher in PCOS than in controls. AMH as an independent marker could not effectively diagnose PCOS. However, AMH levels as an adjunct to existing Rotterdam criteria for diagnosis of PCOS had good diagnostic potential.
