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

Fatty acid metabolism mediates macrophage function; however, the underlying mechanism by which fatty acid metabolism regulates macrophage interleukin (IL)-1β production remains to be uncovered. Here, we used genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify several porcine serum IL-1β-related genes, such as the fatty acid metabolizing enzyme acyl-CoA thioesterase 11 (ACOT11). We then demonstrated that inflammatory macrophages have low expression of ACOT11, and ACOT11 overexpression inhibits IL-1β maturation from inflammatory macrophages. Mechanistically, ACOT11 promotes intracellular fatty acids accumulation, including eicosatetraenoic acid (EA) and stearic acid (SA), which inhibit activation of the Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling through palmitoylation of interferon (IFN)-γ receptor (IFNGR) 2 at C261site. Furthermore, we also found that EA attenuates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis in mice. Collectively, our findings reveal a mechanism involving ACOT11-mediated post-translational modification that regulates macrophage function and provide a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases associated with macrophages.
