Endothelial Cells as Active Lipid Gatekeepers: Vascular Control of Lipid Handling and Metabolic Homeostasis.
Review in Nutrients, 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
Endothelial cells have emerged as critical peripheral nutrient sensors that actively regulate systemic lipid metabolism rather than serving as passive conduits. Endothelial peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ maintains redox balance, supports nitric oxide-dependent perfusion, and preserves insulin sensitivity during high-fat feeding, while ghrelin signaling through endothelial GHS-R promotes triglyceride clearance and lipid uptake into white adipose tissue through an endothelial peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ-dependent program. These pathways reveal that the endothelium integrates hormonal and metabolic cues to tune lipid trafficking, vectorial fatty acid delivery, and depot-specific energy storage. The concept that the endothelial phenotype, rather than circulating lipid levels alone, determines organ-level lipid exposure reframes endothelial lipid sensing as a key regulator of whole-body metabolic homeostasis. Understanding how endocrine and transcriptional pathways shape endothelial lipid handling may reveal new therapeutic targets for the treatment of obesity, dyslipidemia, and related metabolic diseases.
