The role of bone morphogenetic protein 6 in accumulation and regulation of neutrophils in the human ovary.
Article in Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) cytokine is known to regulate ovulation, as BMP-6 null mice exhibit a decrease in the number of ovulatory follicles without effect on either the morphology or the dynamics of follicular development. In the present study, the role of BMP-6 in ovulatory process was investigated using human granulosa-lutein cells (GCs). Granulosa-lutein cells, obtained from in vitro fertilization patients, were cultured with BMP-6 followed by RNA extraction. The neutrophil-chemotactic activity of the supernatant of cultured GC was investigated. Bone morphogenetic protein 6 significantly increased growth-regulated oncogene α (GRO-α) messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression in GC. In the neutrophil-chemotaxis assay, the GC supernatant cultured with BMP-6 attracted more neutrophils than control samples, which was negated with anti-GRO-α neutralizing antibody. Bone morphogenetic protein 6 also suppressed the relative expression of the protease inhibitors, secretory leukocyte peptidase inhibitor, and whey acid protein 14 mRNA in GC. Bone morphogenetic protein 6 might play a role in ovulation by increasing the accumulation of neutrophils in the ovulatory follicle and suppressing the effect of protease inhibitors.
