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

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) has become a major threat in the treatment of bacterial infection, and immunotherapy in a non-antibiotic-dependent manner is an effective way to overcome CRAB infection. However, the role of the innate immune response in CRAB infection is poorly understood. Here, it is reported that CRAB infection induced a cytosolic DNA-sensing signaling pathway and significant IFN-β production in mice post-CRAB infection. The knockout of STING reduced bacterial burden, the production of inflammatory cytokines, and lung injury in mice post CRAB infection. The cytosolic DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and the adaptor protein stimulator of interferon genes (STING) are required for CRAB-induced IFN-β expression in macrophages. Intriguingly, CRAB utilized outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) to transport outer membrane protein 38 (OMP38) into mitochondria, triggering mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release into the cytosol through the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) and activating the cGAS-STING signaling. Finally, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is demonstrated to block the activation of the cGAS-STING pathway and ameliorate CRAB-induced excessive inflammatory response. These results demonstrated that the early innate immune response to CRAB infection is activated in a cGAS-STING-dependent manner, which could be a potential therapeutic target for CRAB infection.
