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

backgroundOvarian reserve declines with age. However, there are considerable ethnic differences in the decline of ovarian reserve between individuals.

aimThis study aimed to make age-specific percentile charts of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and antral follicle count (AFC) in Indian infertile women and to find the proportion of young women with low ovarian reserve. SETTING AND

designThis was a retrospective data analysis of AMH and AFC of 5525 infertile women from August 2015 to December 2018. MATERIALS AND

methodsInfertile women aged 20- 44 years, with body mass index 18-32 kg/m STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Comparison between groups was done by Chi-square test.

resultsAbout 14.5% of women <35 years and 50.5% of women >35 years had low AMH values (<1.1 ng/ml). In addition, 5.6% of women <35 years and 23.6% of women >35 years had a low AFC of ≤5. In this study, 55.7% of women who had low AMH and 50.7% who had low AFC were <35 years of age. The median AMH values were 4.23 ng/mL in 20-25 years' age group, 3.48 ng/mL in women aged 26-30 years, 2.43 ng/mL in women aged 31-35 years, 1.28 ng/mL in women aged 36-40 years and0.52 ng/mL in 40-44 years' age group. The median AFCs were 20, 18, 14, 10 and 6 for each of the age groups, respectively.

conclusionThis study suggests that approximately more than half of the infertile women who were tested to have low ovarian reserve were <35 years of age.
