G protein-coupled receptor 34 in ovarian granulosa cells of cattle: changes during follicular development and potential functional implications.

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
Abundance of G protein-coupled receptor 34 (GPR34) mRNA is greater in granulosa cells (GCs) of cystic vs normal follicles of cattle. The present experiments were designed to determine if GPR34 mRNA in granulosa cell [GC] changes during selection and growth of dominant follicles in cattle as well as to investigate the hormonal regulation of GPR34 mRNA in bovine GC in vitro. In Exp. 1, estrous cycles of nonlactating cows were synchronized and then ovariectomized on either day 3-4 or 5-6 after ovulation. GPR34 mRNA abundance in GC was 2.8- to 3.8-fold greater (P < 0.05) in small (1-5 mm) and large (≥8 mm) estrogen-inactive dominant follicles than in large estrogen-active follicles. Also, GPR34 mRNA tended to be greater (P < 0.10) in F2 than F1 follicles on day 3-4 postovulation. In Exp. 2-7, ovaries were collected at an abattoir and GC were isolated and treated in vitro. Expression of GPR34 was increased (P < 0.05) 2.2-fold by IGF1. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α decreased (P < 0.05) the IGF1-induced GPR34 mRNA abundance in small-follicle GC, whereas IGF1 decreased (P < 0.05) GPR34 expression by 45% in large-follicle GC. Treatment of small-follicle GC with either IL-2, prostaglandin E2 or angiogenin decreased (P < 0.05) GPR34 expression, whereas FSH, cortisol, wingless 3A, or hedgehog proteins did not affect (P > 0.10) GPR34 expression. In Exp. 6 and 7, 2 presumed ligands of GPR34, L-a-lysophosphatidylserine (LPPS) and LPP-ethanolamine, increased (P < 0.05) GC numbers and estradiol production by 2-fold or more in small-follicle GC, and this response was only observed in IGF1-treated GC. In conclusion, GPR34 is a developmentally and hormonally regulated gene in GC, and its presumed ligands enhance IGF1-induced proliferation and steroidogenesis of bovine GC.
