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

Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are critical adjuvants in antiviral vaccines and cancer immunotherapy, primarily through the activation of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway. Evaluating the immune responses triggered by CDNs is essential for the development of effective adjuvants. In this study, we performed a comparative transcriptome analysis to characterize the immune responses elicited by the recently identified nuclease-resistant Drosophila and bacterial CDN, 3'2'-cGAMP, in mammalian immune cells. We detected a robust induction of innate immune gene signature following 3'2'-cGAMP stimulation in digitonin-permeabilized mouse primary macrophages, comparable to the response observed with the canonical mammalian CDN, 2'3'-cGAMP. STING deficiency remarkably reduced 3'2'-cGAMP-induced phosphorylation of TBK1 and IRF3 and the induction of IFN-β, indicating that 3'2'-cGAMP signaling-mediated immune responses were mainly STING dependent. In comparison to 2'3'-cGAMP signaling, 3'2'-cGAMP signaling preferentially elicited many STING-dependent genes involved in transcription and nucleosome positioning and assembly in the nucleus, which are likely associated with several enriched pathways, including cellular senescence, HDACs deacetylate histones, and epigenetic regulation of gene expression. The integrative analysis further revealed that 3'2'-cGAMP signaling preferentially induced genes were associated with autoimmune disease-related processes, suggesting a potential side effect that requires monitoring when used as an adjuvant. In conclusion, this study provides the first transcriptional landscape of 3'2'-cGAMP signaling in mammals and reveals the immune response characteristics and potential side effects mediated by 3'2'-cGAMP signaling. These findings may aid in the development of 3'2'-cGAMP-based adjuvants for antiviral vaccines and cancer immunotherapy.
