1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disorder and leading cause of cardiovascular disease, is characterized by macrophage-derived inflammation and foam cell formation. Emerging evidence suggests that metabolic reprogramming of macrophages represents a promising therapeutic approach for atherosclerosis management. In this study, the therapeutic potential of wogonin, a bioactive flavonoid isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis, in modulating macrophage metabolism and attenuating atherogenesis is investigated. Wogonin reduces lesion size and plaque vulnerability, accompanied by a reduction in foam cell formation and inflammation. Mechanistically, wogonin reprogrammes macrophage metabolism from glycolysis to fatty acid oxidation (FAO) by activating the PPARα-CPT1α pathway and acts as a mitochondrial protector by activating PPARα. Wogonin also promotes the KLF11 expression and KLF11 knockout exacerbated atherosclerosis and abolishes the inhibitory effect of wogonin on glycolysis and atherosclerosis. KLF11 forms a transcriptional complex with PPARα and YAP1, serving both as a brake on PPARα-YAP1-mediated glycolysis and a transcriptional activator of ABCA1/G1. Collectively, wogonin reprograms macrophage metabolism from glycolysis to FAO through activation of the PPARα-KLF11-YAP1 pathway, thereby reducing inflammation and foam cell formation, ultimately attenuating atherogenesis.
