Interferon-induced factor 16 is essential in metastatic melanoma to maintain STING levels and the immune responses upon IFN-γ response pathway activation.

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
backgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitor (ICIs)-based therapies are the standard of care treatment for patients with metastatic melanoma (MM). The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway is critical in controlling immune responses to ICIs. Interferon (IFN)-γ-inducible protein 16 (IFI16) is a cytosolic DNA sensor that activates the STING signaling pathway. The link between IFI16 and STING signaling pathway on IFN-γ stimulation and the connection to ICIs response remains not completely understood.
methodsDeconvolution analyses were performed using the TCGA-SKCM, GSE91061, and PRJEB23709 public RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data sets that contained RNA-seq for patients with MM. Functional assays combined with cytokine arrays were performed using MM cell lines to validate in silico data. Multiplex immunofluorescence was performed on untreated or pretreatment tumor samples from patients with MM.
resultsDeconvolution analysis showed that high-
conclusionsThis study identifies IFI16 as a key sensor during IFN-γ stimulation associated with ICI response, and it proposes the epigenetic EZH2 inhibitor as an alternative treatment strategy to overcome ICI resistance in patients with MM.
