Absence of the mitochondrial translocator protein 18 kDa in mice does not affect body weight or food intake responses to altered energy availability.
Article in Journal of neuroendocrinology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Changes in mitochondrial function in a variety of cells/tissues are critical for orchestrating systemic energy homeostasis and are linked to the development of obesity and many of its comorbidities. The mitochondrial translocator protein of 18 kDa (TSPO) is expressed in organs throughout the body, including the brain, liver, adipose tissue, gonads and adrenal glands, where it is implicated in regulating steroidogenesis and cellular metabolism. Prior work from our group and others has shown that, in rodents, TSPO levels are altered in adipose tissue by obesity and that modulation of TSPO activity may impact systemic glucose homeostasis. Furthermore, in vitro studies in a variety of cell types have implicated TSPO in mediating cellular energetics and substrate utilisation. Although mice with germline global TSPO deficiency (TSPO
