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

Lipids orchestrate immune signaling beyond structure and energy. In autoimmune diseases (ADs), immune cells rewire fatty-acid and cholesterol pathways under microenvironmental pressures, creating pharmacologically actionable dependencies. This metabolic dysregulation is not merely a passive consequence of immune activation but is a key driver of disease progression. This review synthesizes evidence from human and preclinical studies to systematically outline the core regulatory networks of lipid metabolism. It further dissects the role of lipid metabolism in reshaping the functions of T cells, B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells, and delineates its organ-specific dysregulation in various ADs (e.g., synovium, skin, central nervous system, gut). Rather than blanket immunosuppression, we propose "immune-metabolic normalization": titrating hyperactive nodes to physiological set-points while preserving host defense. We prioritize targets with high translational potential and evaluate corresponding targeted strategies, including drug repurposing, novel agents in clinical development, and innovative interventional concepts. Our work aims to bridge descriptive immunometabolic research with verifiable, patient-centered interventions, laying the groundwork for precision medicine in autoimmune diseases.
