cGAS-STING-mediated sensing pathways in DNA and RNA virus infections: crosstalk with other sensing pathways.
Review in Archives of virology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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
Viruses cause a variety of diseases in humans and other organisms. The most important defense mechanism against viral infections is initiated when the viral genome is sensed by host proteins, and this results in interferon production and pro-inflammatory cytokine responses. The sensing of the viral genome or its replication intermediates within host cells is mediated by cytosolic proteins. For example, cGAS and IFI16 recognize non-self DNA, and RIG-I and MDA5 recognize non-self RNA. Once these sensors are activated, they trigger a cascade of reactions activating downstream molecules, which eventually results in the transcriptional activation of type I and III interferons, which play a critical role in suppressing viral propagation, either by directly limiting their replication or by inducing host cells to inhibit viral protein synthesis. The immune response against viruses relies solely upon sensing of viral genomes and their downstream signaling molecules. Although DNA and RNA viruses are sensed by distinct classes of receptor proteins, there is a possibility of overlap between the viral DNA and viral RNA sensing mechanisms. In this review, we focus on various host sensing molecules and discuss the associated signaling pathways that are activated in response to different viral infections. We further highlight the possibility of crosstalk between the cGAS-STING and the RIG-I-MAVS pathways to limit viral infections. This comprehensive review delineates the mechanisms by which different viruses evade host cellular responses to sustain within the host cells.
