Luteinizing hormone-induced changes in the structure of mammalian preovulatory follicles.
Review in Current topics in developmental biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Ovulation of a mammalian oocyte from its follicle, which occurs in response to luteinizing hormone (LH), requires complex restructuring of the ∼20 layers of surrounding somatic cells. This chapter describes the cellular architecture of preovulatory follicles, the localization of the receptors for LH, and the LH-induced changes in follicular structure, focusing on mice and other small mammals. The multiple interrelated processes that result in ovulation include breakdown of existing extracellular matrix, generation of new extracellular matrix, thinning of the follicular apex where the oocyte will be released, invagination of the follicular surface, and responses of the vascular system to support these dynamic changes. However, much remains unknown about how these events function together to release a fertilizable egg.
