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

Arachidonic acid (AA)-derived lipid mediators play pivotal roles in inflammation and its resolution. While glycolysis is a key metabolic pathway determining macrophage polarization, the crosstalk between specific AA metabolites and glycolytic reprogramming remains poorly understood. In this study, we explore whether certain AA metabolites modulate macrophage function through covalent protein modification, with therapeutic implications for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Unlike conventional specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) that primarily act via receptors, here we identify an endogenous electrophilic AA metabolite, 15-keto-prostaglandin F2α (15KPF), that covalently modifies pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) at Cys49. Such interaction enhanced
