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

Macrophages dynamically reprogram their metabolic states in response to environmental stimuli, thereby exerting distinct immune functions. In our preliminary study, a gut microbiota-derived metabolite, 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HPA), is increased in chronic inflammation and generates cysteine carboxyethylated neoantigens. However, the role of such metabolite-induced modification in regulating the function of macrophages remains obscure. Here, we show that 3-HPA alleviates inflammation in a mouse model of sepsis and inhibits the macrophage inflammatory response. Mechanistically, 3-HPA induces glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) carboxyethylation, which promotes GAPDH degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, thereby suppressing its enzymatic activity and expression to inhibit glycolysis. Concomitantly, reduced GAPDH activity elevates the NAD
