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

Immunometabolic dysregulation has emerged as a key driver in the pathogenesis of autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA), and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This review highlighted the central role of glycolytic reprogramming in driving immune cell dysfunction and disease progression. In RA, enhanced glycolysis promoted T cell dysregulation, synovial fibroblast activation, and macrophage polarization. In OA, glycolytic alterations in chondrocytes and synovial tissues were central to disease pathology, while SLE was characterized by metabolic shifts in podocytes, T cells, and NETosis processes. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may be a promising therapeutic strategy by targeting glycolytic pathways to modulate immune responses and restore metabolic balance. Despite existing challenges, the integration of multi-omics and artificial intelligence (AI) may facilitate the development of personalized immunometabolic therapies. This review underscored glycolysis as a pivotal therapeutic target and advocated for interdisciplinary approaches in future ARD research.
