The follicle-stimulating hormone triggers rapid changes in mitochondrial structure and function in porcine cumulus cells.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. 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
Oocyte maturation is a key process during which the female germ cell undergoes resumption of meiosis and completes its preparation for embryonic development including cytoplasmic and epigenetic maturation. The cumulus cells directly surrounding the oocyte are involved in this process by transferring essential metabolites, such as pyruvate, to the oocyte. This process is controlled by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent mechanisms recruited downstream of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) signaling in cumulus cells. As mitochondria have a critical but poorly understood contribution to this process, we defined the effects of FSH and high cAMP concentrations on mitochondrial dynamics and function in porcine cumulus cells. During in vitro maturation (IVM) of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs), we observed an FSH-dependent mitochondrial elongation shortly after stimulation that led to mitochondrial fragmentation 24 h later. Importantly, mitochondrial elongation was accompanied by decreased mitochondrial activity and a switch to glycolysis. During a pre-IVM culture step increasing intracellular cAMP, mitochondrial fragmentation was prevented. Altogether, the results demonstrate that FSH triggers rapid changes in mitochondrial structure and function in COCs involving cAMP.
