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

Stimulator of Interferon Gene (STING) is a key mediator of innate immune signaling. STING plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of many diseases including infectious diseases, auto-immune diseases and cancer. Many studies have been carried out recently in the field of STING-regulated pathway, however, rarely of transcriptional mechanisms. To characterize the murine STING (mSTING) promoter, we cloned a series of different nucleotide sequences of the 5'-flanking region of the mSTING gene. Transient transfection of promoter-reporter recombinant plasmids and luciferase assay illustrated the region (-77/+177) relative to the transcription start site (TSS) of the mSTING gene was sufficient for full promoter activity. This region contains GATA1, IK2, Sp1/Sp3 and STAT putative transcription factor binding sites. Mutation of GATA1 or Sp1/Sp3 sites led to obvious decrease of the mSTING promoter activity. Overexpression of GATA1 and Sp3 enhanced the mSTING promoter activity, whereas knockdown of GATA1 and Sp3 by a siRNA strategy significantly reduced the transcription activity. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that GATA1 and Sp3 interact with the mSTING promoter in vivo. These results provided the first analysis of mSTING promoter and demonstrated that transcription factor GATA1 and Sp3 positively regulate the basal transcription of the mSTING gene.
