Figla promotes secondary follicle growth in mature mice.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 in vitro growth (IVG) of human follicles is a potential fertility option for women for whom cryopreserved ovarian tissues cannot be transplanted due to the risk of cancer cell reintroduction; however, there is currently no established method. Furthermore, optimal IVG conditions may differ between the follicles of adult and pre-pubertal females due to molecular differences suggested by basic research. To systematically identify differences between the secondary follicles of adult and pre-pubertal females, a comparative transcriptomic study using mice was conducted herein. Among differentially expressed genes (DEGs), Figla was up-regulated in mature mice. We successfully down-regulated Figla expression in secondary follicle oocytes by a Figla siRNA microinjection, and the subsequent IVG of follicles showed that the diameter of these follicles was smaller than those of controls in mature mice, whereas no significant difference was observed in premature mice. The canonical pathways of DEGs between control and Figla-reduced secondary follicles suggest that Figla up-regulates VDR/RXR activation and down-regulates stem cell pluripotency as well as estrogen signaling. We demonstrated for the first time that folliculogenesis of the secondary follicles of premature and mature mice may be regulated by different factors, such as Figla with its possible target genes, providing insights into optimal IVG conditions for adult and pre-pubertal females, respectively.
