The Metabolic-Immune Axis: Amino Acids and Immune Cell Dynamics in Mammary Gland Development and Remodeling.
Review in International journal of biological sciences, 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
The mammary gland undergoes tightly coordinated cycles of growth, differentiation and regression, which require precise communication between epithelial and stromal cells. Immune cells, whether tissue-resident or recruited, are well-established regulators of mammary development, which is orchestrated by hormones, cytokines, growth factors, microorganisms and nutritional signals. As essential building blocks for protein synthesis, amino acids modulate systemic metabolic homeostasis and influence the development, differentiation, and functional capacity of immune cells. However, the relationship between amino acid metabolism and immune regulation during mammary gland remodeling is not well understood. Here, we review the current understanding of the multiple biological factors underlying mammary gland development and remodeling, the composition and function of mammary immune cells across developmental stages, dynamic changes in mammary gland amino acids and transporters, and amino acid metabolism in the mammary gland and its immunomodulatory mechanisms. This improves our understanding of normal mammary biology and its implications for pathological conditions, such as lactation insufficiency and breast cancer.
