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

purposeWe asked whether the relationship between anti-Műllerian hormone (AMH) value and the response to ovarian stimulation (OS) might be AMH value-related and differ for each regimen, aiming at getting clues as to how to choose OS protocols according to AMH levels. We further addressed how AMH value connects with ART outcome.

methodsA total of 1112 women undergoing egg retrieval in ART were included. We adopted four OS protocols, that is, clomiphene, clomiphene + low-dose gonadotropins (Gns), GnRH (Gn-releasing hormone) + Gns (short), and GnRH antagonist.

resultsAnti-Műllerian hormone showed a stronger correlation with egg number compared with age over a wide age range. When patients were stratified into four groups by AMH value (<1, 1-2, 2-3, and 3≦ ng/mL), the relationship between AMH and egg number differed among differential OS regimes. The number of eggs rose as AMH and total doses of Gn increased. When analyzed for each AMH group, egg number, but not AMH, was associated with pregnancy rate.

conclusionDifferent AMH levels exhibit characteristic responses to distinct OS regimens. To improve ART outcomes, personalized OS should be selected so as to maximize egg number, which seems to be a more precise variable than AMH for predicting pregnancy.
