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

purposeThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the association between anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) as a biomarker of ovarian reserve and various thyroid function tests, including thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free T3 (FT3), free T4 (FT4), T3, T4, and thyroid autoantibodies, such as thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), in various female populations.

methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted across six electronic databases and original observational studies examining the correlation between AMH levels and at least one TFT, TPOAb, or TgAb.

resultsForty studies with 14,009 participants were included in the quantitative synthesis. The pooled results showed that AMH levels were not significantly correlated with TSH levels in the overall population or diverse subgroups. However, after adjusting for publication bias, a small, but significant, positive correlation was observed. Meta-regression analyses identified estradiol, FT3, and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) as significant moderators of AMH-TSH association in various populations. AMH was significantly positively correlated with FT3 (r = 0.177) and FT4 (r = 058), negatively correlated with T3 (r = - 0.202) and T4 (r = - 0.216) in the overall population, and significantly positively correlated with TPOAb in the normal population (r = 0.348). AMH levels were not significantly correlated with TgAb levels. Meta-regression revealed body mass index and FT4 as moderators in AMH-FT4 and AMH-TPOAb correlations.

conclusionThese findings highlight the complex relationship between AMH and thyroid function markers with potential moderators influencing these associations. Further well-controlled longitudinal studies are required to clarify the underlying mechanisms and clinical implications of these associations across reproductive stages and metabolic profiles.
