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 predictive value of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) for ovarian dysfunction postchemotherapy is controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the value of serum AMH levels clinically and theoretically. PATIENTS ANIMALS AND

methodsWe detected the serum estradiol, follicular stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and AMH levels in 144 premenopausal women with breast cancer receiving cyclophosphamide-based chemotherapy. The hormone levels before and postchemotherapy were compared; the correlations among the hormones and amenorrhea and menstrual recovery were analyzed. In addition, the serum AMH levels were detected randomly in 177 normal healthy women and 36 normal female C57BL/6J mice of different ages; meanwhile, the status of ovarian follicles was also examined. Furthermore, 72 Balb/c nude mice with breast cancer were randomly assigned to three groups that received different doses of cyclophosphamide (CTX) (control, 100 mg/kg, and 200 mg/kg), and the alterations in serum AMH levels and ovarian follicles were recorded and analyzed.

resultsChemotherapy-induced amenorrhea was associated with prechemotherapy AMH levels, E2 levels, and FSH levels (

conclusionOur results indicate that AMH is an efficient marker for predicting postchemotherapy ovarian function exclusively in premenopausal female patients with breast cancer aged >35 years.
