ACLY integrates metabolism and chromatin accessibility to enable B Cell activation and humoral immunity.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
B cell activation and differentiation into antibody-secreting cells require extensive metabolic and epigenetic remodeling, yet the molecular mechanisms that integrate these programs remain incompletely understood. ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) links glucose metabolism to acetyl-CoA production, supporting lipid biosynthesis and protein acetylation. However, its role in humoral immunity has not been fully defined. Here, using genetic and integrated multi-omics approaches, we show that B cell activation is accompanied by coordinated metabolic, transcriptional, and epigenetic reprograming. Although ACLY is dispensable for B cell development and homeostasis, it is required to establish chromatin accessibility programs in activated B cells, with a more pronounced impact on the epigenetic landscape than on transcriptional output. ACLY-deficient B cells exhibit profound defects in TLR and BCR elicited activation, survival and metabolic fitness
