RAF1 mediates the FSH signaling pathway as a downstream molecule to stimulate estradiol synthesis and secretion in mouse ovarian granulosa cells.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: The v-raf-leukemia viral oncogene 1 (RAF1) plays an essential physiological role in reproduction and development through the mediation of steroid hormone synthesis. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) signaling pathway was not involved in the majority of RAF1 studies, whether RAF1 takes part in the signaling events of gonadotropic hormones such as FSH in ovarian tissue is unknown. Methods: The process is blocked by treating granulosa cells (GCs) with the RAF1 inhibitor, RAF709. Inhibition of RAF1 activity by RAF709 decreased extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) phosphorylation and suppressed the expression of the cytochrome P450 subfamily 19 member 1 (CYP19A1), which is a major rate-limiting enzyme that participates in the last step of E2 biosynthesis. Results: We found that RAF1, acting as a downstream molecule, mediates FSH signalling to stimulate estradiol (E2) synthesis and secretion in mouse ovarian GCs. Gene expression of RAF1 was induced by FSH and the secretion of E2 increased into the bloodstream of mice and into the supernatant of primary GCs. Our Conclusions: RAF1 plays a pivotal mediating role in the FSH signaling pathway by inducing the phosphorylation of ERK and promoting E2 synthesis.
