The diagnostic performance of antimullerian hormone for polycystic ovarian syndrome and polycystic ovarian morphology.
Article in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThe diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remains a challenge to clinicians due to heterogeneous clinical presentation and diagnostic criteria. This study investigated the utilization of Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) alone or replacing polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) in the PCOS diagnostic criteria.
methodsA total of 401 women were categorised as PCOS (n:154), nonPCOS with polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) (n:105), and nonPCOS with normal ovarian morphology (NOM) (n:142). First, the diagnostic performance of AMH for PCOS diagnosis in Rotterdam, Androgen Excess Society, and National Institutes of Health (NIH) criteria was analyzed. Second, AMH was used instead of PCOM in Rotterdam criteria and we searched diagnostic performance for PCOS phenotypes.
resultsAMH levels were positively correlated with LH, testosterone, hirsutism score, menstrual cycle length, and antral follicle count (p < 0.05). AMH alone had specificity and sensitivity for PCOS diagnosis were 84.9% and 72.4% in Rotterdam (AUC: 0.866); 84.4% and 72% in Androgen Excess Society (AUC: 0.857); 83.3% and 66.4% in National Institute of Health criteria (AUC: 0.825). AMH alone had satisfactory diagnostic potential for phenotype A, but not other phenotypes. The replacement of PCOM with AMH in Rotterdam criteria had a high diagnostic potential for PCOS (AUC: 0.934, sensitivity:97.4%, specificity: 90.67%). Phenotype A and phenotype D were diagnosed with 100% sensitivity and 94.5% specificity. Phenotype C was recognised with 96.15% sensitivity and 94.5% specificity.
conclusionAMH may be used with high diagnostic accuracy instead of PCOM in the Rotterdam PCOS criteria.
