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

The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) plays a pivotal role in orchestrating innate immunity, and dysregulated activity of STING has been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Recent findings suggest that bacterial infection activates STING, relieving ER stress, and triggers non-canonical autophagy by spatially regulating STX17. Despite these insights, the precise mechanism governing the dynamics of autophagosome fusion elicited by STING remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that dynamic STING activation guides the autophagy flux, mirroring the trajectory of canonical autophagy adaptors. STING engages in a physical interaction with STX17, and agonist-induced phosphorylation or degradation alleviates STING's inhibitory effects on the assembly of the STX17-SNAP29-VAMP8 complex. Consistent with these findings, degradation-deficient mutants hinder autophagy flux by impeding STX17-mediated autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Moreover, STING mutants associated with lupus disrupt the assembly of the STX17-SNAP29-VAMP8 complex and autophagy process, which lead to persistent STING activation and elevated IFN-β production. Our results highlight that the intracellular trajectory of STING, coupled with autophagy flux, guides the assembly and membrane fusion of the STX17-SNAP29-VAMP8 complex, ensuring the accurate regulation of innate immunity.
