Metabolic crossroads in insulin resistance: exploring lipid dysregulation and inflammation.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Insulin resistance is a central pathological feature of several chronic metabolic disorders, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. While its pathogenesis is multifactorial, lipid dysregulation and chronic low-grade inflammation are recognised as two major, interconnected processes that impair insulin action across multiple tissues. This review summarises core mechanistic themes linking these processes, with a focus on three key signalling pathways that are particularly relevant to metabolic regulation and to the interplay between lipid metabolism, inflammation, and insulin action: phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B, AMP-activated protein kinase, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase. Dysregulated lipid metabolism, including the accumulation of bioactive intermediates such as diacylglycerols and ceramides, disrupts insulin signalling, promotes lipotoxicity and adipose tissue dysfunction, and triggers inflammatory cascades. In parallel, inflammatory mediators, including cytokines, adipokines, and related signalling pathways, further impair insulin receptor function and exacerbate metabolic stress. Together, these processes form a self-reinforcing cycle that sustains insulin resistance and accelerates disease progression. Despite recent advances in delineating these mechanisms, critical gaps remain in defining tissue-specific effects, pathway interactions, sex-based differences, and the roles of lesser-studied lipid species and regulatory layers, highlighting priorities for future mechanistic research.
