Regulation of Anxiety and Depression by Mitochondrial Translocator Protein-Mediated Steroidogenesis: the Role of Neurons.
Article in Molecular neurobiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Pharmacological studies have implicated the translocator protein (TSPO) in the regulation of complex behaviors including anxiety and depression, effects thought to be mediated by increased synthesis of neuroactive steroid hormones. However, TSPO function in the brain remains to be corroborated in vivo via genetic studies. To address this, we developed global TSPO knockout (TSPO-KO) and neuronal TSPO transgenic (TSPO-Tg) mouse models to investigate TSPO function in the regulation of anxiety- and depression-related behaviors using elevated plus maze and forced swim test paradigms. Neuroactive steroid hormones were measured in the brain by mass spectrometry. In vivo TSPO ligand pharmacokinetics was investigated using competitive PET with
