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

backgroundSterile alpha motif domain and histidine-aspartate domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) is a DNA end resection factor, which is involved in DNA damage repair and innate immunity. However, the role of SAMHD1 in anti-tumor immunity is still unknown. This study investigated the effects of SAMHD1 on stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-type I interferon (IFN) pathway and radiation-induced immune responses.

methodsThe roles of SAMHD1 in the activation of cytosolic DNA sensing STING pathway in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells were investigated with flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, immunoblotting and qPCR. The combined effects of SAMHD1 silencing and radiation on tumor cell growth and STING pathway activation were also evaluated with colony formation and CCK8 assay. The Lewis lung cancer mouse model was used to evaluate the combined efficiency of SAMHD1 silencing and radiotherapy in vivo. Macrophage M1 polarization and cytotoxic T cell infiltration were evaluated with flow cytometry.

resultsThe single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) accumulated in the cytosol of SAMHD1-deficient lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells, accompanied by upregulated DNA sensor IFN-γ-inducible protein 16 (IFI16) and activated STING pathway. The translocation of IFI16 from nucleus to cytosol was detected in SAMHD1-deficient cells. IFI16 and STING were acquired in the activation of STING-IFN-I pathway in SAMHD1-deficient cells. SAMHD1 silencing in LUAD cells promoted macrophage M1 polarization in vitro. SAMHD1 silencing synergized with radiation to activate ssDNA-STING-IFN-I pathway, inhibit proliferation, promote apoptosis and regulate cell cycle. SAMHD1 silencing cooperated with radiotherapy to inhibit tumor growth and increase CD86

conclusionsSAMHD1 deficiency induced IFN-I production through cytosolic IFI16-STING pathway in LUAD cells. Moreover, SAMHD1 downregulation and radiation cooperated to inhibit tumor growth and enhance anti-tumor immune responses through macrophage M1 polarization and CD8
