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

Granulosa cells play important roles in ovarian follicular development. To better understand the molecular mechanisms involved in this physiological process in chicken, high-throughput transcriptome analyses were performed to study the expression profiles of granulosa cells harvested from 6 mm white follicles, F5 follicles and F1 follicles. The analyses elucidated a clear tendency of granulosa cells in shifting its expression profile from proliferation to differentiation during follicular development. Transcripts down-regulated during this process were mainly associated with cell division, cell cycle and DNA replication while the up-regulated transcripts were related to ribosomal function, lipid metabolism and protein synthesis. Our study for the first time provides the complete gene expression profiles along follicular development supporting the active involvement of many genes characterized in cell signaling (AMH, Inhibins, Activins, BMPs) and transcription factors (SMAD3, SMAD5, ID1, ID2, ID3). Their temporal expression profiles support the notion of continual cross-talk between granulosa cells and its neighboring cells and shed light on the mechanisms behind avian follicular selection and pave the way to the better understanding of reproductive efficiency.
