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

Bile acids (BAs), essential for lipid metabolism and fat-soluble vitamin absorption, also act as signaling molecules that regulate immune homeostasis. This review focuses on the roles of four key BA-activated receptors, farnesoid X receptor (FXR), G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1), liver X receptors (LXRs), and vitamin D receptor (VDR), in modulating the functions of monocytes-macrophages, and dendritic cells (DCs). The biological synthesis, transport, and metabolism of BAs were discussed and highlighted the feedback mechanisms regulating the synthesis and enterohepatic circulation of BAs. Each receptor's role in shaping immune responses is detailed, including their function in inflammation, apoptosis, phagocytosis, and pathogen clearance. FXR and GPBAR1 activation generally exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, while LXR and VDR modulate a more nuanced interplay between immune responses and lipid homeostasis. We also explored the cross-talk between BA-activated receptors and Toll-like receptors, providing a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between BA signaling and innate immunity. This review culminates by highlighting the therapeutic potential of targeting these receptors for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
