Pleiotropic Cholesterol Signaling in
Review in Metabolites, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Growth, reproduction, and survival are fundamental biological priorities that animals balance by evaluating dietary cues. Cholesterol occupies a unique position among nutrients, serving both as a structural component of cellular membranes and as a precursor for steroid hormones, yet its regulation differs fundamentally across taxa. In mammals, cholesterol availability is buffered by endogenous synthesis and post-ingestive metabolic control. In contrast, insects have evolutionarily lost sterol biosynthesis and are therefore sterol auxotrophs that rely entirely on dietary sources. Here, we synthesize current understanding of cholesterol biology in
