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

backgroundTo discover the related factors of ovarian reserve function and explore the relationship between AFC and AMH.

methodsIn this study, a retrospective analysis of endometriosis cases from January 2022 to December 2023 was performed with DIE ultrasound or surgical procedures. The association of AFC and AMH with age, single or bilateral cysts, healthy or affected side, cyst size, BMI, pregnancy history, recurrence, standard medication, comorbidities, four ultrasound sliding signs, presence or absence of deep nodules, and size of deep nodules were analyzed, and then multivariate analysis was performed.

resultCorrelation analysis results show significant factors influencing: Total AFC with age (R = -0.242, P < 0.001), Unilateral/bilateral (Z = -4.095, P < 0.001), the largest cyst diameter on the left side (R = -0.181, P = 0.004), the largest cyst diameter on the right side (R = -0.286, P < 0.001), AMH (R = 0.543, P < 0.001), recurrence (R = -2.007, P = 0.038), associated adenomyosis (R = -2.667, P = 0.007), posterior uterine wall sliding sign (R = -4.324, P < 0.001), rectouterine pouch sliding sign (R = -2.098,P = 0.036), largest diameter of deep nodules (Z = -0.175, P = 0.023). AMH shared associations with age (R = -0.432, P < 0.001), BMI (Z = -0.203, P < 0.001), left AFC, right AFC, total AFC, gravidity (R = -0.795, P < 0.001), recurrence (R = -2.203, P = 0.028), associated adenomyosis (R = -4.518, P < 0.001), associated uterine fibroids (R = -3.504, P < 0.001), posterior uterine wall sliding sign (R = -2.927, P = 0.003), and rectouterine pouch sliding sign (R = -1.995, P = 0.046). AFC on the healthy side was significantly higher than that on the affected side (Z = -9.786, P < 0.001). The results of the multivariate analyses showed the following: Larger cyst diameters on the left side were associated with lower left AFC (OR = -0.547, P < 0.001). Larger cyst diameters on the right side were associated with lower right AFC (OR = -0.601, P < 0.001). Higher AMH levels were associated with higher left AFC (OR = 0.775, P < 0.001), right AFC (OR = 0.778, P < 0.001), and total AFC (OR = 0.667, P < 0.001). AMH levels were influenced only by a history of recurrence (OR = 1.436, P = 0.047).

conclusionIn OEM, compared to AMH, AFC may serve as a more suitable marker for assessing ovarian reserve.
