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

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is necessary and sufficient to induce maturation of ovarian follicles to a mature, preovulatory phenotype in the intact animal, resulting in the generation of mature eggs and production of estrogen. FSH accomplishes these actions by inducing a complex pattern of gene expression in target granulosa cells that is regulated by input from many different signaling cascades, including those for the extracellular regulated kinases (ERKs), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K). The upstream kinase that appears to be responsible for initiating all of the signaling that regulates gene expression in these epithelial cells is protein kinase A (PKA). PKA not only signals to directly phosphorylate transcription factors like cAMP response element binding protein and to promote chromatin remodeling by phosphorylating histone H3, this versatile kinase also enhances the activity of the p38 MAPK, ERK, and PI3K pathways. Additionally, accumulating evidence suggests that activation of a single signaling cascade downstream of PKA is not sufficient to activate target gene expression. Rather, cross-talk between and among signaling cascades is required. We will review the signaling cascades activated by FSH in granulosa cells and how these cascades contribute to the regulation of select target gene expression.
