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

The progression of atherosclerosis is closely associated with alterations in cellular glucose metabolism and vascular immunometabolic regulation. Increasing evidence indicates that glycometabolic reprogramming in macrophages, ECs, and vascular smooth muscle cells contributes to plaque development by modulating inflammatory activation, oxidative stress, lipid metabolism, and cellular phenotypic changes. In this review, we summarize recent advances in glycometabolic reprogramming during atherosclerosis, focusing on glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and lactate-mediated epigenetic regulation. We further discuss how metabolic alterations interact with immune responses, trained immunity, epigenetic remodeling, and cellular senescence to regulate the atherosclerotic microenvironment. In addition, we highlight potential therapeutic targets involved in metabolic regulation, including key glycolytic enzymes such as 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and lactate dehydrogenase A, as well as metabolic-epigenetic pathways such as the TRAP1/HDAC3/H4K12la axis. However, significant challenges remain regarding cell-type specificity, therapeutic selectivity, and clinical translation of metabolic interventions. Understanding the complex relationship between glycometabolic reprogramming and vascular immunometabolism can provide mechanistic insights and guide future investigations of metabolic interventions for atherosclerosis.
