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
Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is a cytoplasmic dinucleotide sensor used as an immunomodulatory agent for cancer treatment. The efficacy of the STING ligand (STING-L) against various tumors has been evaluated in mouse models; however, its safety and efficacy in non-human primates have not been reported. We examined the effects of escalating doses of cyclic-di-adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) or cyclic [G (3',5')pA (3',5'p] (3'-3'-cGAMP) administered intramuscularly or intravenously to cynomolgus macaques. Both ligands induced transient local and systemic inflammatory responses and systemic immunomodulatory responses, including the upregulation of interferon-α (IFN-α) and IFN-γ expression and the activation of multiple immunocompetent cell subsets. Better immunological responses were observed in animals that received c-di-AMP compared with those that received 3'-3'-cGAMP. Multi-parameter analysis using a dataset obtained before administering the ligands predicted the efficacy outcome partially. Importantly, the efficacy of these ligands was reduced in older macaques. We propose that 0.5 mg/kg c-di-AMP via intramuscular administration should be the optimal starting point for clinical studies. Our study is the first to demonstrate the age-dependent safety and efficacy of STING-L in non-human primates and supports the potential of STING-L use as a direct immunomodulator
