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

Background Failure to achieve a successful pregnancy after 12 months of unprotected intercourse is a pathology of the reproductive system known as infertility. Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) not only reflects the ovarian reserve but also is known to be a predictor of several assisted reproductive techniques, e.g., in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and clomiphene citrate challenge test. In this study, AMH levels are correlated with the follicular output rate after the clomiphene citrate challenge test. Objective The objective of this study is to correlate AMH with the follicular output rate (FORT) after the clomiphene citrate challenge test. Materials and methods This study included a total of 80 primary and secondary infertile females, divided into early (18-30) and late (31-45) reproductive age groups either currently under clomiphene citrate treatment or advised to start clomiphene treatment, culled from out-patient department and centers of assisted reproductive techniques. On the third day of the menstrual cycle, blood samples were taken to determine serum AMH levels by ELISA. Then on the fifth day of the menstrual cycle, antral follicular counts were calculated through transvaginal ultrasound and oral tablet clomiphene citrate was started, and on day 12 and then on day 5, transvaginal ultrasound was repeated to record the number and diameter of dominant follicles. Results The pre-ovulatory (mature) follicle count was divided by the antral follicle count ×100 for calculating the FORT, which showed a negative Spearman Rho correlation (
