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

backgroundWomen with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have a high incidence of pregnancy and obstetric complications. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is closely related to reproductive outcomes. The potential relationship between AMH levels and the occurrence of late miscarriage in these patients remains unclear.

methodsThis study enrolled 1,831 patients diagnosed with PCOS who achieved clinical pregnancy following their first frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles. The patients were categorized into miscarriage group and live birth group according to their pregnancy outcomes. The relationship between AMH levels and the occurrence of late miscarriage in this population was assessed before and after propensity score matching.

resultsPCOS patients with late miscarriage exhibited elevated AMH levels compared with those who had a live birth. According to univariate logistic regression analysis, each 1 ng/mL elevation in AMH level was related to a 6.3% increased risk of late miscarriage (odds ratio [OR], 1.063; 95% CI, 1.027-1.101; P = 0.001). After adjustment for confounding factors, the risk of late miscarriage increased by 5.6% (adjusted OR = 1.056, 95% CI: 1.012-1.101, adjusted P = 0.011). The odds of late miscarriage increased by 63.5% in the 50th percentile group (OR, 1.635; 95%CI, 1.129-2.369; P = 0.009), by 68.0% in the 75th percentile group (OR, 1.680; 95%CI, 1.141-2.474; P = 0.009) and by 93.8% in the 90th percentile group (OR, 1.938; 95%CI, 1.164-3.228; P = 0.011) when compared to the live birth group. After PSM, circulating AMH levels remained strongly linked to the occurrence of late miscarriage. The AUC of AMH for predicting late miscarriage was 0.614 (95% CI, 0.564-0.664; P = 0.000), with an optimal cutoff value of 10.395 ng/mL.

conclusionsHigh pre-pregnancy circulating AMH levels (especially > 10.395ng/mL) is associated with a high risk of late miscarriage in patients with PCOS undergoing FET.
