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

Protection of stalled replication forks is crucial for cells to respond to replication stress and maintain genome stability. Genome instability and replication stress have been linked to immune activation. Here we show that Abro1 and FANCD2 protect replication forks, which is linked with the restriction of innate immune responses. We reveal that stalled replication fork degradation induced by Abro1 or FANCD2 deficiency leads to accumulation of cytosolic single-stranded DNA and activation of a cGAS-STING-dependent innate immune response that is dependent on DNA2 nuclease. We further show that the increased cytosolic single-stranded DNA contains ribosomal DNA that can bind to cGAS. In addition, Abro1 and FANCD2 limit the formation of replication stress-induced P-bodies, and P-bodies are capable of modulating activation of the innate immune response after prolonged replication stress. Our study demonstrates a connection between replication stress and activation of the innate immune response that may be targeted for therapeutic purpose.
