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

Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases, causing significant morbidity and mortality. This review article examines the role of lactate and lactylation in atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease closely linked to lipid metabolism and immune system activation. Lactate, a metabolic byproduct and signaling molecule, has emerged as a key regulator of immune cell functions and epigenetic modifications. The article explores the mechanisms through which lactate and lactylation influence macrophage polarization, T‑cell differentiation and B‑cell metabolism, highlighting their complex dual roles in the progression of atherosclerosis. By modulating metabolic reprogramming, functional polarization and epigenetic regulation, lactate and lactylation significantly impact plaque formation and stability. These findings provide a foundation for developing novel therapeutic strategies targeting lactate metabolism and lactylation pathways.
