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

Metabolic syndrome encompasses a cluster of predictive metabolic risk factors, including obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia and hypertension. It is strongly associated with the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Given the increasing morbidity and mortality associated with metabolic syndrome, along with the limited availability of drug treatments, it is high time to investigate the pathogenesis of this condition and explore potential pharmacotherapies. Macrophages, well-known innate immune cells, play an essential role in maintaining tissue immune homeostasis and multiple physiological processes, including glucose and lipid metabolism, oxidative stress and inflammation. Emerging evidence indicates that the effects of macrophages in metabolic syndrome are linked to macrophage-mediated metaflammation. Phytochemicals derived from natural plants have been shown to exert therapeutic effects on metabolic syndrome by modulating macrophage function. In this review, we sort out the role of macrophage-mediated metaflammation in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome and summarise potential phytochemicals that target macrophages for the treatment of this condition.
