γ-Butyrolactone Derivatives of MSA-2 are STING Prodrugs.
Article in ChemMedChem, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
STING agonists are potent enhancers of a pro-inflammatory response and, thus, potentially useful therapeutics. Unfortunately, many agonists developed to date require complex drug delivery formulations and often have poor water solubility, limiting their use for systemic administration. Here, we report the discovery and chemical characterization of lactones of MSA-2 as new STING prodrugs with enhanced properties. We show that these prodrugs form efficient inclusion complexes with tumor myeloid cell targeting cyclodextrin nanoparticles and propose a new mechanism of formation and hydrolysis.
