STING regulates peripheral nerve regeneration and colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) processing in microglia.
Article in iScience, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Inflammatory responses are crucial for regeneration following peripheral nerve injury (PNI). PNI triggers inflammatory responses at the site of injury. The DNA-sensing receptor cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and its downstream effector stimulator of interferon genes (STING) sense foreign and self-DNA and trigger type I interferon (IFN) immune responses. We demonstrate here that following PNI, the cGAS/STING pathway is upregulated in the sciatic nerve of naive rats and dysregulated in old rats. In a nerve crush mouse model where STING is knocked out, myelin content in sciatic nerve is increased resulting in accelerated functional axon recovery. STING KO mice have lower macrophage number in sciatic nerve and decreased microglia activation in spinal cord 1 week post injury. STING activation regulated processing of colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) and microglia survival
