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 innate immune DNA-sensing cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon (IFN) gene (STING) pathway exerts strong antiviral activity through downstream IFN production; however, it has been recently recognized that an IFN-independent activity of STING also plays an important role in antiviral functions. Nevertheless, the IFN-independent antiviral activity of STING is not fully understood. Here, we showed that porcine STING (pSTING) played a critical role against herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infections, and IFN-defective mutants, including pSTING pLxIS sub, S365A, and △CTT, all exhibited similar antiviral functions, compared to wild-type (WT) pSTING. Furthermore, all of these IFN-defective pSTING mutants possessed comparable autophagy activity, relative to WT pSTING, as expected. From pSTING WT, S365A, and △CTT, the residues responsible for autophagy, including L333A/R334A, Y167A/L170A, and Y245A/L248A, were mutated. Surprisingly, all of these autophagy-defective pSTING mutants still resisted the two viral infections, demonstrating that the pSTING antiviral function is independent of IFN as well as autophagy. On the other hand, all of the autophagy-defective pSTING mutants triggered cell apoptosis, which was associated with and participated in the antiviral functions. Additionally, pSTING lost its antiviral activity in TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1)
