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

Forkhead box protein O1 (Foxo1) is an insulin-suppressed transcription factor that governs multiple biological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy, mitochondrial function, and energy metabolism. Over the past 25 years, Foxo1 has evolved from a liner insulin effector to a pleiotropic integrator of systemic metabolic stress during obesity and aging. Foxo1 integrates hormonal signals with energy balance and plays a central role in glucose and lipid metabolism, organ homeostasis, and immune responses. Given its pleiotropic functions, therapeutic targeting of Foxo1 pathway will require a nuanced, context-specific approach. Here, we reviewed key advances in Foxo1 studies over the past 25 years, including multi-hormonal control of Foxo1 activity, Foxo1-mediated inter-organ crosstalk, immune modulation, and contributions to aging-associated pathologies. Understanding the regulation of Foxo1 and its pleiotropic function across multiple tissues will advance insight into the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases and promote the translation potential of Foxo1 signaling manipulation for the treatment of metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
