Global knockout of VEGFB improves lipoprotein lipase activity leading to an improved lipid profile during diabetes.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Diabetes affects over half a billion people worldwide, with cardiovascular disease being its leading cause of death, either occurring secondary to atherosclerosis or due to an intrinsic defect in heart muscle (diabetic cardiomyopathy, DbCM). One instigator for DbCM is impaired cardiac metabolism characterized by excessive fatty acid (FA) delivery and utilization by the heart, causing oxidative stress and toxic lipid accumulation. Inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGFB) has been shown to counter these factors associated with abnormal cardiac metabolism by inducing metabolic flexibility and preventing cardiac lipid accumulation in Type 2 diabetes. However, its impact on lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and the sources of FA for cardiac use in Type 1 diabetes is unknown. Global
