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

Macrophage polarization by type-2 cytokines is central to anti-helminth immunity and tissue repair. While some hallmark changes in macrophages are well-characterized and associated with protection against helminths, it is still unclear how macrophages exert their anti-helminth effects. In this context, we investigated arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (LOX) (Alox15), a LOX well known for its role in macrophage polarization in the context of metabolic diseases, and a hallmark of type-2 macrophage (M2) human polarization. We show that in the absence of Alox15, M2 cannot trap and kill helminths. Surprisingly, expression of M2 markers was normal despite a loss of function. Instead, we found a concomitant increase in pro-inflammatory responses due to an uncontrolled activation of glycolysis. We further show that activation of Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-delta (PPAR-δ) by lipids downstream of docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) can restore normal glycolysis control, highlighting a novel role of lipids in the fine-tuning of the metabolic support required for optimal macrophage polarization.
