Effect of basal luteinizing hormone/follicle-stimulating hormone ratio on clinical outcome of
Article in PeerJ, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: The basal luteinizing hormone (LH) and the prior LH to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio (LH/FSH) in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are generally higher than those in non-PCOS patients and the general population. The potential negative effects of elevated LH on human reproductive function are highly controversial, as are the effects of down-regulation of LH on reproductive function. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the basal LH/FSH ratio on the live birth rate of PCOS patients undergoing Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 698 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome undergoing IVF treatments with a mild stimulation protocol ( Results: The live birth rate for patients with a LH/FSH ratio ≥ 2 group (56.38%, Conclusions: The live birth rate in IVF outcomes was not affected by an elevated basal LH/FSH ratio in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. The choice of the GnRH agonist protocol or mild stimulation protocol for ovulation stimulation does not affect the final clinical outcomes either for PCOS patients with a basal LH/FSH ratio ≥ 2.
