Manganese Exacerbates ConA-Induced Liver Inflammation via the cGAS-STING Signaling Pathway.
Article in Inflammation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
There is a potential association between the dysregulation of trace elements and impaired liver function. Elevated levels of manganese, an essential metal ion, have been observed in liver-related diseases, and excessive intake of manganese can worsen liver damage. However, the specific mechanisms underlying manganese-induced liver injury are not well understood. The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of excess manganese on autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and elucidate its mechanisms. Our findings revealed that manganese exacerbates liver damage under ConA-induced inflammatory conditions. Transcriptomic and experimental data suggested that manganese enhances inflammatory signaling and contributes to the inflammatory microenvironment in the liver of AIH mice. Further investigations demonstrated that manganese exacerbates liver injury by activating the cGAS-STING signaling pathway and its downstream pro-inflammatory factors such as IFN[Formula: see text], IFN[Formula: see text], TNF[Formula: see text], and IL-6 in the liver of AIH mice. These results suggest that manganese overload promotes the progression of AIH by activating cGAS-STING-mediated inflammation, providing a new perspective for the treatment and prognosis of AIH.
