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

purposeDiabetic patients have a significantly higher incidence and faster progression of atherosclerosis than non-diabetic individuals, and abnormal macrophage lipophagy is a key pathological driver. This review aims to clarify the synergistic mechanisms of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) and fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) in regulating macrophage lipophagy and promoting diabetic atherosclerosis, and to explore potential intervention strategies.

methodsWe systematically reviewed the molecular mechanisms and interactions of HBP and FAO in diabetic macrophages, focusing on their roles in lipophagy dynamic regulation and foam cell formation, as well as the crosstalk between HBP and FAO in metabolic reprogramming.

resultsHBP activation in the diabetic environment inhibits lipophagy-related molecules via O-GlcNAc modification, while FAO imbalance causes energy metabolism disorders, which synergistically exacerbate lipophagy dysfunction, promote macrophage-to-foam cell differentiation, and accelerate atherosclerotic plaque progression.

conclusionThe synergistic dysfunction of HBP and FAO is a critical pathological link in diabetic atherosclerosis. Targeted regulation of these two pathways represents a promising intervention strategy, providing a theoretical basis and innovative ideas for the prevention and treatment of diabetes-related atherosclerosis.
