1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 is induced by the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge and accompanied by granulosa cell luteinization and ovarian angiogenesis. Semaphorin 3E (Sema3E)-Plexin-D1 pathway regulates angiogenesis in other tissues, but its role in the ovary is unknown. Evidence indicates that Sema3E-Plexin-D1 pathway plays an important role in the mouse ovary. The expression of Sema3E and its receptor, Plexin-D1, is dynamically regulated in the mouse ovary downstream of the LH surge. This regulation requires the modulation of chromatin accessibility by CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins α and β. Intraovarian injection of recombinant Sema3E results in reduced ovulation, impaired corpus luteum formation, and aberrant ovarian angiogenesis. These in vivo physiological abnormalities are consistent with altered expression of genes regulating these processes, and with data from in vitro cultured granulosa cells and ovarian stromal tissues treated with Sema3E or neutralizing antibody of Plexin-D1. The findings pinpoint Sema3E-Plexin-D1 pathway as a potential therapeutic target for fertility and infertility management.
