Follicular fluid aids cell adhesion, spreading in an age independent manner and shows an age-dependent effect on DNA damage in fallopian tube epithelial cells.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Ovarian cancer (OC) is deadly, and likely arises from the fallopian tube epithelium (FTE). Despite the association of OC with ovulation, OC typically presents in post-menopausal women who are no longer ovulating. The goal of this study was to understand how ovulation and aging interact to impact OC progression from the FTE. Follicular fluid released during ovulation induces DNA damage in the FTE, however, the role of aging on FTE exposure to follicular fluid is unexplored. Follicular fluid samples were collected from 14 women and its effects on FTE cells was assessed. Follicular fluid caused DNA damage and lipid oxidation in an age-dependent manner, but instead induced cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, independent of age in FTE cells. Follicular fluid regardless of age disrupted FTE spheroid formation and stimulated attachment and growth on ultra-low attachment plates. Proteomics analysis of the adhesion proteins in the follicular fluid samples identified vitronectin, a glycoprotein responsible for FTE cell attachment and spreading.
