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 mediator of IRF3 activation (MITA, also named STING) is critical for immune responses to abnormal cytosolic DNA and has been considered an important drug target in the clinical therapy of tumors and autoimmune diseases. In the present study, we report that MITA undergoes DDOST-mediated N-glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) upon DNA viral infection. Selective mutation of DDOST-dependent N-glycosylated residues abolished MITA oligomerization and thereby its immune functions. Moreover, increasing the expression of Ddost in the mouse brain effectively strengthens the local immune response to herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) and prolongs the survival time of mice with HSV encephalitis (HSE). Our findings reveal the dependence of N-glycosylation on MITA activation and provide a new perspective on the pathogenesis of HSE.
