Exploration of the effects of goose TCs on GCs at different follicular stages using a co-culture model.
Article in Bioscience reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Granulosa cells (GCs) play a critical role in follicular development, which cannot be separated from the assistance of theca cells (TCs). In the present study, we used a transwell system to develop three stages of goose GCs in vitro mono-culture and co-culture models, and we analyzed the morphology, activity, intracellular lipid content and the expression of core genes involved in de novo lipogenesis (DNL), steroidogenesis, proliferation and apoptosis of the GCs. In the co-culture group, the activity of all three stages of GCs showed significant (P<0.01) changes, and they had a strong (P<0.01) correlation with culture time; further, the intracellular lipid deposition of hierarchical GCs was significantly different (P<0.01) between the two methods. Moreover, after co-culture, in pre-hierarchical GCs, the expression of SREBP, CYP11 and 3βHSD was promoted (P<0.01). In hierarchical GCs, the expression of ACC, SREBP, STAR, CYP11, 3βHSD and CCND1 was promoted at 48 h, but they were inhibited (P<0.05) at 96 h. In F1 GCs, the expression of ACC, FAS, SREBP, CYP11, BCL2 and CAS3 was inhibited (P<0.01). The results indicate that goose TCs had complex and time-dependent effects on the biological function of GCs at each corresponding stage, and the effects were distinct in the different stages. In addition, DNL, steroidogenesis, proliferation and apoptosis in hierarchical and F1 GCs might have some synergistic relationships in the effects of TCs on GCs. Furthermore, we speculated that TCs might play an important role in the differentiation and maturation of GCs during follicular development.
