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

backgroundsEvaluating the AMH level and AFC are crucial in infertility practice. Thus, accurate measurement is paramount. Various methods are available and selecting the right process is essential to ensure good reproducibility and precise results. Thus, our study aims to determine the analytical performance of AMH Plus and AFIAS-AMH and the correlation between the two AMH assays and AFC values.

methodsA prospective study was conducted at the Advanced Reproductive Center, Hospital Canselor Tuanku Mukhriz (HCTM), Faculty of Medicine, National University of Malaysia, to compare the correlation between the AMH assay methods and AFCs. It included 100 patients from Feb 2024 until June 2024.

resultsA total of 100 women with infertility, with a mean age of 35.87 ± 3.92, were included in our study. Our results revealed a strong positive correlation between the two AMH assays, with the comparable performance of AMH Plus and AFIAS-AMH. We also found that the serum AMH evaluation was comparable with the routine AFC assessment.

conclusionsOur findings indicated that serum AMH levels determine the association between AMH levels and follicle counts and the correlation between AMH concentrations and assays. Our study demonstrated the competent repeatability, acceptable linearity, and laboratory precision of the AFIAS-AMH test and comparative assessment of the AFC and serum AMH evaluation.
