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

Macrophages are plastic innate immune cells that polarize into pro-inflammatory M1 or anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes in response to microenvironmental signals, with their dynamic balance governing inflammation resolution and tissue homeostasis. This polarization entails profound metabolic reprogramming, wherein ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) acts as a key regulator. By controlling intracellular acetyl-CoA production, ACLY modulates histone acetylation and chromatin remodeling, thereby influencing the expression of inflammation-related genes. This review systematically outlines ACLY's structural features and elucidates its core mechanisms that integrate metabolic and epigenetic cues to orchestrate macrophage polarization and inflammatory responses. In addition, it summarizes the pharmacological properties and clinical translational potential of ACLY inhibitors, highlighting their promise as therapeutic agents. Collectively, this work aims to offer novel theoretical insights and intervention strategies for targeting macrophage immunometabolism in chronic inflammation and associated metabolic disorders.
