Comment on "AMH predicts miscarriage in non-PCOS but not in PCOS related infertility ART cycles".
Article in Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Arkfeld et al. reported that AMH predicts miscarriage in non-PCOS but not in PCOS ART cycles. We raise concerns regarding the biological plausibility and data interpretation of their findings. Extremely low AMH (<1 ng/mL) is physiologically uncommon in PCOS, suggesting potential misclassification or temporal mismatch in measurements. While the original study attributed the null finding to generally elevated AMH in PCOS (a dilution effect), our concern is distinct: biologically discordant AMH <1 ng/mL values in PCOS-labeled patients may distort subgroup estimates and artificially produce a null association. Additionally, the SART CORS database uses heterogeneous, clinic-reported PCOS diagnoses, and sample sizes for low-AMH PCOS patients were not reported. These factors may explain the apparent lack of association, highlighting the need for cautious interpretation and sensitivity analyses using standardized criteria.
