The comparison of evaluative effectiveness between antral follicle count/age ratio and ovarian response prediction index for the ovarian reserve and response functions in infertile women.
Observational study in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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
Aim of the present study was to explore the evaluative effectiveness of age, ovarian volume (OV), antral follicle count (AFC), serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), AFC/Age ratio, AMH/Age ratio, FSH/luteinizing hormone (LH) ratio, and ovarian response prediction index (ORPI) to determine which could more advantageously assess ovarian reserve and response.This research enrolled 319 consecutive infertile women who had undergone in vitro fertilization-ET/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ET/ICSI) treatments. Abovementioned variables were measured and calculated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to analyze the predictive accuracy of variables and to calculate cut-off values and corresponding sensitivity and specificity.Our study revealed that the significant variables for evaluating a decline in ovarian reserve include age, OV, FSH, AFC/Age ratio, AMH/Age ratio, and ORPI. Moreover, the area under the curve (AUC) of AFC/Age ratio was higher than other 5 variables (AUC = 1.000), and the cut-off value of AFC/Age ratio was 0.111 (sensitivity 100.00%, specificity 100.00%). The significant variables forecasting excessive ovarian response were age, AFC, AMH, FSH, AFC/Age ratio, AMH/Age ratio, FSH/LH ratio, and ORPI, and the significant variables forecasting poor ovarian response were AMH, LH, OV, AFC/Age ratio, AMH/Age ratio, and FSH/LH ratio. When ORPI was used to predict excessive response, the cut-off value of ORPI was 0.880 (sensitivity 84.72%, specificity 67.32%) and ORPI presented better effectiveness. When used to predict poor response, the evaluative effectiveness of 6 variables was almost similar, although the AUC of AFC/Age ratio presented the largest value.Regarding the infertile women, AFC/Age ratio performed better than did the other variables in evaluating ovarian reserve, and it offered excellent effectiveness in predicting poor ovarian response, however, ORPI presented better effectiveness in predicting excessive ovarian response.
