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

backgroundThe assessment of ovarian reserve in the case of endometrioma is of pivotal importance for planning a tailored management. However, both the antral follicle count (AFC) and the antimüllerian hormone (AMH) dosage are subject to a fair degree of variability in ovarian endometriosis. This study aimed to identify a sonographic parameter of ovarian reserve that could implement current available markers in patients with unilateral endometrioma.

methodsPatients with unilateral endometrioma admitted to our Endometriosis Center between March 2018 and April 2019 were enrolled. Transvaginal ultrasonography for the evaluation of eight sonographic indicators and AMH level determination were performed. The relationship between AMH level and each indicator was assessed.

resultsThirty-four women were included. There was a positive significant correlation between AMH level and the healthy ovary AFC (HO-AFC) (

conclusionAORV may be a useful tool to assess ovarian reserve in patients with unilateral endometrioma without previous surgery and to guide physicians in clinical management.
