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

Immunometabolism has become a central mechanism governing innate and adaptive immune responses. The field has moved from cataloguing metabolic shifts during immune activation to understanding how specific pathways control immune cell fate and function. This review brings together current knowledge on immunometabolic regulation in metabolic and infectious diseases, emphasizing bidirectional crosstalk between these domains. We address controversies over whether inflammation causes insulin resistance or follows from it, examine the distinct metabolic programs of different immune cell types, and explore trained immunity as a link between innate immune memory and metabolic disease. The review also covers pathogen-specific metabolic strategies and host countermeasures, surveys emerging immunometabolic therapies, and flags unresolved questions for future work. Among promising strategies, mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have advanced to clinical trials for immunometabolic indications, whereas epigenetic reprogramming and nanoparticle-based metabolic delivery remain in preclinical development.
