The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis.
Review in Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and alternative glycolytic routes. By examining glycolysis across the tree of life, we explore its presence and adaptation in prokaryotes, archaea, bacteria, animals and plants, and the extension of glycolysis into sulfosugar metabolism. Further, we discuss the role of unwanted side reactions, thermodynamic principles, and metabolic control principles that underpin glycolysis and the broader metabolic network, and summarise advanced methods for quantifying glycolytic activity, including new analytical methods, alongside kinetic, constraint-based, and machine-learning based modelling. With a focus on the Pasteur, Crabtree, and Warburg effects, this review further discusses the roles of glycolysis in health and disease, highlighting its impact on global metabolic operations, inborn errors, and various pathologies as well as its role in biotechnology and metabolic engineering.
