Antibody-mediated neutralization of ACBP/DBI has anorexigenic and lipolytic effects.
Review in Adipocyte, 2020. 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
We recently identified acyl coenzyme A-binding protein (ACBP)/diazepam binding inhibitor (DBI) as a novel 'hunger factor': a protein that is upregulated in human or murine obesity and that, if administered to mice, causes hyperphagy, adipogenesis and obesity. Conversely, neutralization of ACBP/DBI by systemic injection of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies or autoantibodies produced after auto-immunization against ACBP/DBI has anorexigenic and lipolytic effects. Thus, neutralization of ACBP/DBI results in reduced food intake subsequent to the activation of anorexigenic neurons and the inactivation of orexigenic neurons in the hypothalamus. Moreover, ACBP/DBI neutralization results into enhanced triglyceride lipolysis in white fat, a surge in free fatty acids in the plasma, enhanced incorporation of glycerol-derived carbon atoms into glucose, as well as an increase in β-oxidation, resulting in a net reduction of fat mass. Importantly, ACBP/DBI neutralization also stimulated an increase in autophagy in various organs, suggesting that it might mediate anti-ageing effects.
