m6A modification: a novel mechanism that regulates atherosclerosis via macrophage polarization.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Atherosclerosis is a chronic vascular inflammatory disease in which macrophages play a pivotal role in modulating its pathology. In response to the intraplaque microenvironment, both pro-inflammatory M1 and anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes of macrophages have the polarization capability, each influencing the inflammatory state through the secretion of distinct cytokines. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, the most prevalent internal chemical modification of RNA, significantly impacts various biological processes, including RNA transcription and protein expression. m6A modification acts as a critical determinant in macrophage polarization, with its molecular mechanisms intricately linked to the progression of atherosclerosis. This review aims to elucidate how different macrophage polarization phenotypes influence the progression of atherosclerosis while also exploring the significance of m6A modifications in this pathological context, thereby providing a theoretical foundation for identifying novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets for atherosclerosis.
