Antisense techniques provide robust decrease in GnRH receptor expression with minimal cytotoxicity in GT1-7 cells.
Article in Systems biology in reproductive medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The episodic pattern of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion from the hypothalamus is driven by an integrated network of cells termed the GnRH pulse generator. Cultured and immortalized GnRH neurons also produce a pulsatile pattern of GnRH secretions when grown in the absence of other cell types, suggesting the presence of an intrinsic oscillator mediating GnRH secretion. The mechanisms underlying such pulsatility comprise one of the most tantalizing problems in contemporary neuroendocrinology. In order to study the mechanism by which GnRH is produced in a pulsatile fashion, the autocrine effect of GnRH on GnRH-producing neurons must be eliminated. This may be performed by downregulating the expression of the GnRH receptor. Treatment with three 21-mer exogenous phosphorothioates and transient transfections with an inducible plasmid containing an antisense construct to the GnRH receptor gene decreased GnRH receptor expression further. This resulted in less cytotoxicity compared to inhibition of RNA or protein synthesis with actinomycin D, α-amanitin, puromycin, and cycloheximide. This study shows methods and optimized conditions established for the generation of a stable GT1-7 cell line containing an inducible construct allowing the downregulation of GnRH receptor expression.
