Nanoparticle-based itaconate treatment recapitulates low-cholesterol/low-fat diet-induced atherosclerotic plaque resolution.
Article in Cell reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Current pharmacologic treatments for atherosclerosis do not completely protect patients; additional protection can be achieved by dietary modifications, such as a low-cholesterol/low-fat diet (LCLFD), that mediate plaque stabilization and inflammation reduction. However, this lifestyle modification can be challenging for patients. Unfortunately, incomplete understanding of the underlying mechanisms has thwarted efforts to mimic the protective effects of a LCLFD. Here, we report that the tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediate itaconate (ITA), produced by plaque macrophages, is key to diet-induced plaque resolution. ITA is produced by immunoresponsive gene 1 (IRG1), which we observe is highly elevated in myeloid cells of vulnerable plaques and absent from early or stable plaques in mice and humans. We additionally report development of an ITA-conjugated lipid nanoparticle that accumulates in plaque and bone marrow myeloid cells, epigenetically reduces inflammation via H3K27ac deacetylation, and reproduces the therapeutic effects of LCLFD-induced plaque resolution in multiple atherosclerosis models.
