ReviewTrends in endocrinology and metabolism: TEM2022
Dietary fat: a potent microglial influencer.
Review in Trends in endocrinology and metabolism: TEM, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Poor nutrition, lack of exercise, and genetic predisposition all contribute to the growing epidemic of obesity. Overweight/obesity create an environment of chronic inflammation that leads to negative physiological and neurological outcomes, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and anxiety/depression. While the whole body contributes to metabolic homeostasis, the neuroimmune system has recently emerged as a key regulator of metabolism. Microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain, respond both directly and indirectly to dietary fat, and the environment in which microglia develop contributes to their responsiveness later in life. Thus, high maternal weight during pregnancy may have consequences for microglial function in offspring. Here, we discuss the most recent findings on microglia signaling in overweight/obesity with a focus on perinatal programming.
