LCoRL Regulates Growth and Metabolism.
Article in Endocrinology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 12 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
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in humans and livestock have identified genes associated with metabolic traits. However, the causality of many of these genes on metabolic homeostasis is largely unclear due to a lack of detailed functional analyses. Here we report ligand-dependent corepressor-like (LCoRL) as a metabolic regulator for body weight and glucose homeostasis. Although GWAS data show that LCoRL is strongly associated with body size, glucose homeostasis, and other metabolic traits in humans and livestock, functional investigations had not been performed. We generated Lcorl knockout mice (Lcorl-/-) and characterized the metabolic traits. We found that Lcorl-/- pups are born smaller than the wild-type (WT) littermates before reaching normal weight by 7 to 9 weeks of age. While aging, Lcorl-/- mice remain lean compared to WT mice, which is associated with a decrease in daily food intake. Glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity are improved in Lcorl-/- mice. Mechanistically, this stunted growth is linked to a reduction of circulating levels of IGF-1. The expression of the genes downstream of GH signaling and the genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism are altered in the liver of Lcorl-/- mice. Furthermore, Lcorl-/- mice are protected against a high-fat diet challenge and show reduced exercise capacity in an exercise stress test. Collectively, our results are congruent with many of the metabolic parameters linked to the Lcorl locus as reported in GWAS in humans and livestock.
