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

Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway is the key innate immune pathway involving in cancer immunity. Emerging new molecules and drug delivery systems have made systemic STING agonist immunotherapy possible and demonstrated efficient tumor eradication in preclinical studies. In this perspective, we will discuss the potential mechanisms of STING agonism as a multifaceted anti-cancer therapy and the pharmacological challenges associated with systemic delivery of STING agonists on the level of organs, tissues, cells, and intracellular compartments. We will present and discuss drug delivery strategies to address these challenges. New advances in the field can unlock the promise of systemic STING agonist as effective and safe cancer immunotherapy.
