Targeting macrophage metabolism: mechanisms, cellular crosstalk and implications in obesity-associated metabolic diseases.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 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
Obesity and its associated metabolic disorders constitute a prominent public health challenge. Diverse environmental and metabolic cues trigger alterations in macrophage metabolism, thereby influencing their functional phenotypes. Due to their phenotypic plasticity, macrophages play beneficial roles in tissue homeostasis, yet they also contribute to the progression of metabolic diseases. Consequently, beyond systemic chronic low-grade inflammation, greater attention should be directed toward immunometabolic dysfunction in metabolic tissues during obesity and its related diseases. This review summarizes the functional phenotypes and metabolic characteristics of macrophages, with an emphasis on how tissue niches influence macrophage function in the context of various obesity-related metabolic diseases. Enhanced understanding of the interplay between macrophages and metabolic target organs/tissues may provide novel therapeutic strategies for managing obesity and associated metabolic disorders.
