Immunometabolic reprogramming in multiple sclerosis: from pathogenic amplifier to therapeutic target in neuroinflammation and remyelination.
Review in Inflammopharmacology, 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
Multiple sclerosis (MS) has conventionally been considered a prototypical autoimmune disorder. While modern immunotherapies effectively control relapsing conditions, they fail to avert progressive neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and remyelination failure. This review offers an evidence-based recontextualization. The pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis is multifactorial, resulting from the interaction of genetic predisposition (especially HLA alleles), environmental factors (particularly Epstein-Barr virus infection), B-cell-mediated autoimmunity, and localized CNS inflammation. In this intricate environment, cellular metabolic dysregulation is a notable factor and potentially adjustable enhancer of disease progression, functioning within the extensive multifactorial pathogenic context, where the bioenergetic programming of immune and neural cells determines inflammatory or protective responses. Proinflammatory Th17 cells and M1 microglia depend on aerobic glycolysis and glutaminolysis regulated by mTOR and HIF-1α, whereas regulatory T cells, M2 microglia, and neurons require fatty acid oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation via AMPK. In multiple sclerosis, glycolysis disrupts metabolic equilibrium, sustaining chronic neuroinflammation and obstructing repair processes. Established multiple sclerosis therapies, dimethyl fumarate and teriflunomide, exhibit direct, previously unrecognized metabolic effects, validating this pathway as therapeutically viable. Emerging strategies intentionally target these vulnerabilities: glutaminase inhibitors to counteract pathogenic Th17 cells, AMPK activators such as metformin to enhance remyelination, mTOR inhibitors to restore immune tolerance, and NAD + precursors to rejuvenate mitochondrial function. Transitioning from broad immunosuppression to specific metabolic reprogramming offers remarkable opportunities for tackling chronic neuroinflammation and correcting remyelination deficits in progressive multiple sclerosis. Immuno-metabolic pharmacology is a promising field; however, its clinical application necessitates stringent validation via meticulously designed trials and dependable biomarkers.
