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

In the female organism, Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is produced exclusively by granulosa cells, particularly in secondary and early tertiary follicles. The amount of AMH released into the blood is proportional to the total number of follicles present in the ovaries and is therefore used to estimate the ovarian functional reserve. In both cattle and mares, a strong and highly repeatable association has also been demonstrated between AMH concentrations and antral follicle count. Therefore, AMH may serve as a biomarker with broad diagnostic utility in reproductive medicine in these species, as it reflects the functional ovarian reserve through its association with viable antral and preantral follicles. While AMH is already being used for clinical diagnostics in human reproductive medicine and has been extensively investigated, it has received little attention in applied veterinary practice so far. This review explores the applications of AMH for reproductive medicine in cattle and horses, monoovulatory farm animals in which assisted reproductive technologies are widely used. The objectives of this review are to (I) provide clinically relevant background information and a comparative discussion of (II) the role of AMH in follicular development, (III) its value as a fertility indicator, and (IV) its significance for embryo production in vivo and in vitro in cows and mares, with particular emphasis on practical relevance and potential applications.
