Reelin and aromatase cooperate in ovarian follicle development.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Reelin plays an important role in cerebral cortex development and synaptogenesis. In the hippocampus, the neurosteroid estrogen affects reelin expression. In this study we tested a potential crosstalk between estradiol and reelin, thus the possibility of a reelin-induced activation of the estradiol synthesizing enzyme aromatase. As a model system, we used ovaries, which express reelin and are a major source of estradiol. We found that in wild-type mice, reelin and aromatase are expressed in granulosa cells of growing follicles. The expression of reelin varies with the estrus cycle and is highest shortly before ovulation, when estradiol serum levels are at their maximum. In ovaries of reelin-deficient reeler mice, aromatase mRNA and protein are significantly reduced, as evidenced by real-time PCR, western blot analysis, and quantitative immunohistochemistry in granulosa cells of preovulatory follicles. In line with reduced estradiol synthesis, ovarian estrus cycle length is prolonged in reeler mice. Most importantly, treating cultured granulosa cells with recombinant reelin results in significant upregulation of aromatase mRNA and protein and increased secretion of estradiol into the supernatant. Our data provide evidence of a local increase of aromatase expression by reelin. Regarding reproduction, this crosstalk may contribute to follicular stability and counteract luteinization in ovaries.
