Endothelial Cell Regulation of Lipid Uptake During Feeding and Fasting.
Review in Arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Long-chain fatty acids in the blood are prevented from unfettered movement into nonfenestrated tissues or the arterial wall. During fasting, nonesterified FAs are released from adipose tissue into the circulation and bind to albumin, forming a complex >65 kDa, with limited ability to efficiently cross endothelial cell (EC) barriers without a specific receptor. For this reason, nonhepatic tissue distribution of circulating FA parallels EC expression of the FA-binding protein CD36 (cluster of differentiation 36). The deletion of CD36 in ECs reduces nonesterified FA uptake by the heart, muscle, and brown adipose tissue. The other major transport system for FAs is via lipoproteins. Circulating FAs are contained within TRLs (triglyceride-rich lipoproteins), chylomicrons during the postprandial period, and VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) both postprandially and during fasting. LPL (lipoprotein lipase) on capillary ECs releases FAs from TRLs and likely allows their passage into tissues, in part, via a CD36-independent process. ECs can also internalize lipoprotein particles, followed by the transendothelial movement of lipids. In this review, we will discuss the pathways of EC uptake of FAs from circulation, how this process affects both EC and tissue biology, and the importance of these processes for systemic metabolism and vascular health. We will conclude with speculations on methods to modulate EC FA uptake and their implications for human health.
