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

Myocardial infarction (MI) triggers persistent inflammatory dysregulation, wherein macrophages undergo glycolytic reprogramming and adopt an inflammatory phenotype that impairs cardiac repair. However, the specific metabolic drivers underlying post-MI macrophage dysfunction remain unclear. Here, we identify enolase 1 (ENO1)-a glycolytic enzyme up-regulated in post-MI macrophages-as a critical regulator of macrophage metabolic fate and inflammatory function. To intervene, we engineered an acid-responsive nanocarrier (PECS) that externalizes phosphatidylserine within the acidic infarct microenvironment, facilitating selective macrophage uptake. Intracellular delivery of siENO1 suppressed glycolytic flux, thereby curbing lactate accumulation and relieving its metabolic inhibition of KLF4, which initiated anti-inflammatory reprogramming. In vivo, PECS-loaded siENO1 (siENO1@PECS) treatment attenuated infarct size, fibrosis, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis while improving ventricular function. Collectively, these findings identify ENO1 as a critical metabolic checkpoint in post-MI macrophage regulation and demonstrate a bioresponsive nanocarrier strategy for precise gene modulation to enhance cardiac repair.
