Oocyte-specific disruption of adrenomedullin 2 gene enhances ovarian follicle growth after superovulation.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2022. 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
Background: Adrenomedullin 2 (ADM2), adrenomedullin (ADM), and calcitonin gene-related peptides (α- and β-CGRPs) signal through heterodimeric calcitonin receptor-like receptor/receptor activity-modifying protein 1, 2 and 3 (CLR/RAMP1, 2 and 3) complexes. These peptides are important regulators of neurotransmission, vasotone, cardiovascular development, and metabolic homeostasis. In rodents, ADM is essential for regulating embryo implantation, fetal-placental development, and hemodynamic adaptation during pregnancy. On the other hand, ADM2 was shown to affect vascular lumen enlargement, and cumulus cell-oocyte complex (COC) communication in rodent and bovine ovarian follicles. To investigate whether oocyte-derived ADM2 plays a physiological role in regulating ovarian folliculogenesis, we generated mice with oocyte-specific disruption of the Adm2 gene using a LoxP-flanked Adm2 transgene (Adm2 loxP/loxP) and crossed them with Zp3-Cre mice which carry a zona pellucida 3 (Zp3) promoter-Cre recombinase transgene. Results: While heterozygous Adm2 +/-/Zp3-Cre and homozygous Adm2 -/-/Zp3-Cre mice were fertile, Adm2 disruption in oocytes significantly increased the number of ovulated oocytes following a superovulation treatment. Oocyte-specific Adm2 disruption also significantly impaired the developmental capacity of fertilized eggs and decreased the size of the corpus luteum following superovulation, perhaps due to a reduction of ovarian cyclin D2-associated signaling. Conclusions: The disruption of intrafollicular ADM2 signaling leads to follicular dysfunction. These data suggested that oocyte-derived ADM2 plays a facilitative role in the regulation of hormonal response and follicle growth independent of the closely related ADM and CGRP peptides, albeit in a subtle manner.
