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

To facilitate the investigation of signaling by the luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR), we created a mouse line called Lhr-COIN. This line allows for the conditional replacement of the Lhr coding sequence with enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP), resulting in both a conditional knockout line and a reporter line. By breeding these mice with mice expressing Cre recombinase, we generated mice in which either one or both Lhr alleles were replaced with eGFP. Notably, mice in which one Lhr allele in the granulosa cells was replaced with eGFP exhibited normal LH responsiveness. This enabled live imaging of LH-induced migration of LH-receptor-expressing granulosa cells within preovulatory ovarian follicles. The Lhr-COIN mouse line holds significant potential for future research on LHR function and localization in the ovary and other tissues.
