FTO-Catalysed Demethylation of LUR1 mRNA Suppresses Macrophage Lipid Accumulation and Aortic Atherosclerosis.
Article in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 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
Lipid deposition and foam cell formation drive atherogenesis. Lipid uptake regulator 1 (LUR1) and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification play key roles in systemic lipid homeostasis. Bioinformatic analyses revealed a negative correlation between fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) and LUR1 expression and abundant m6A sites within the LUR1 mRNA strand. We therefore hypothesized that FTO-catalysed demethylation modulates LUR1 expression and lipid accumulation in macrophages, thereby influencing aortic plaque development. Acetylated low-density lipoprotein-loaded THP-1 macrophages were transduced with recombinant lentiviruses, and FTO and LUR1 expression was determined by Western blotting and qPCR. m6A abundance was measured by methylated RNA immunoprecipitation-qPCR. Intracellular lipids were quantified by ELISA, and lipid droplets (LDs) were quantified using Oil Red O (ORO) staining. The plasma lipid concentration, aortic sinus plaque area and lipid deposition were evaluated by biochemical assays and histological staining in high-fat-fed apoE
