Loss of NSCL-2 in gonadotropin releasing hormone neurons leads to reduction of pro-opiomelanocortin neurons in specific hypothalamic nuclei and causes visceral obesity.
Article in The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2013. 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
Regulation of sexual reproduction and energy homeostasis are closely interconnected, but only few efforts were made to explore the impact of gonadotropic neurons on metabolic processes. We have used Nscl-2 mutant mice suffering from adult onset of obesity and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism to study effects of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons on neuronal circuits controlling energy balance. Inactivation of Nscl-2 in GnRH neurons but not in pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons reduced POMC neurons and increased visceral fat mass, suggesting a critical role of GnRH cells in the regulation of POMC neurons. In contrast, absence of POMC processing in the majority of Nscl-2-deficient POMC neurons had no effect on energy homeostasis. Finally, we investigated the cellular basis of the reduction of GnRH neurons in NSCL-2 mutants using a lineage tracing approach. We found that loss of Nscl-2 results in aberrant migration of GnRH neurons in Nscl-2 mutant mice causing a lineage switch of ectopically located GnRH neurons.
