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

Immune memory is a hallmark of the adaptive immune system. However, recent research reveals that innate immune cells also retain memory of prior pathogen exposure that prompts enhanced responses to subsequent infections. This phenomenon is termed "innate immune memory" or "trained immunity." Notably, remodeling of cellular metabolism, which closely links to epigenetic reprograming, is a prominent feature of innate immune memory. Adaptations in glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, glutaminolysis, and lipid synthesis pathways are critical for establishing innate immune memory. This review provides an overview of the current understanding of how metabolic adaptations drive innate immune memory. This understanding is fundamental to understanding innate immune system functions and advancing therapies against infectious diseases.
