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

Activating the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of the interferon gene (cGAS-STING) pathway is a promising immunotherapeutic strategy for cancer treatment. Manganese(ii) complexes MnPC and MnPVA (P = 1,10-phenanthroline, C = chlorine, and VA = valproic acid) were found to activate the cGAS-STING pathway. The complexes not only damaged DNA, but also inhibited histone deacetylases (HDACs) and poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) to impede the repair of DNA damage, thereby promoting the leakage of DNA fragments into cytoplasm. The DNA fragments activated the cGAS-STING pathway, which initiated an innate immune response and a two-way communication between tumor cells and neighboring immune cells. The activated cGAS-STING further increased the production of type I interferons and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6), boosting the tumor infiltration of dendritic cells and macrophages, as well as stimulating cytotoxic T cells to kill cancer cells
