Lipid metabolic adaptations during inflammation are controlled by the circadian clock and impaired by light at night.

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
OBJECTIVE AND
designImmune defence requires systemic metabolic changes to redirect energy and nutrients to activated immune cells. The circadian clock is known to control the immune response, but its role in regulating metabolic adaptations following the immune challenge remains poorly understood. We aimed to examine the inflammatory and metabolic responses in rat liver and visceral white adipose tissue (vWAT) after time-of-day-dependent endotoxin stimulation under a regular light/dark cycle or dim artificial light at night (ALAN; ~2 lx), which disrupts immune and metabolic rhythms. Male rats were challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) either during the day or night and acute changes in metabolic pathways and the peripheral metabolic clocks were analysed at both systemic and molecular levels.
resultsIn the control light/dark cycle, we observed higher fatty acid (FA) mobilization in vWAT after daytime than nighttime LPS injection. Similarly, hepatic glucose metabolism was more responsive to daytime than nighttime LPS, while the opposite trend was observed for FA uptake and synthesis. This daily variability in metabolic changes was associated with the inflammatory response, involving nuclear factor interleukin-3 regulated (NFIL3) in the liver and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)/NLR family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome pathway in vWAT. Hepatic and adipose clocks also showed time-of-day-dependent response to LPS, indicating a direct link to circadian regulation. Disruption of metabolic clocks by ALAN impaired the capacity of rats to maintain lipid metabolic adaptations during inflammation.
conclusionsTogether, our results highlight the role of circadian clocks in LPS-induced responses of glucose and FA metabolism and their susceptibility to disruption by ALAN.
