Pregnancy-associated metabolic adaptations in circulating monocytes and macrophages favor clearance functions.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Pregnancy requires coordinated immunometabolic adaptations that allow maternal immune tolerance while preserving tissue remodeling and host defense. Circulating monocytes contribute critically to these processes, yet how gestation shapes their metabolic state and functional specialization remains incompletely defined. Methods: We investigated the metabolic and functional phenotype of maternal monocytes during earlymid pregnancy (1620 weeks of gestation) and explored the contribution of trophoblast-derived signals using an Results: Maternal circulation was enriched in CD14 Discussion: Together, these findings identify a coordinated immunometabolic program in maternal monocytes integrating glycolysis, lactate signaling, and FAO, likely instructed by trophoblast-derived cues, to enhance efferocytic and pro-resolving functions during pregnancy. This metabolic adaptation may represent a systemic mechanism supporting immune tolerance and tissue remodeling in early gestation.
