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

Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) patients often require prolonged stimulation for follicular growth. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), produced by granulosa cells of early-stage follicles, is a potential a biomarker for predicting follicular development in POI patients undergoing ovarian stimulation. This retrospective study analyzed 165 patients undergoing 504 long controlled ovarian stimulation cycles. AMH levels were measured three weeks after stimulation initiation using a highly sensitive assay to guide decisions on extending stimulation beyond four weeks. Follicular development occurred in 9.7% of cycles among 41 patients, who had shorter amenorrhea durations and lower baseline follicle-stimulating hormone levels. Three-week AMH levels showed superior predictive ability for follicular development (area under the curve: 0.957; optimal threshold: 2.45 pg/ml) and were negatively correlated with time to follicular detection (R = - 0.326, P < 0.05). However, AMH levels did not significantly affect the precise time required for follicular development or show significant differences in oocyte yield or embryo quality. The study concludes that three-week AMH levels can predict follicular growth in POI patients. These findings suggest that a highly sensitive AMH assay could be a valuable tool for guiding ovarian stimulation in POI patients, potentially improving treatment outcomes.
