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

Viral mimicry driven by endogenous double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) stimulates innate and adaptive immune responses. However, the mechanisms that regulate dsRNA-forming transcripts during cancer therapy remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that dsRNA is significantly accumulated in cancer cells following pharmacologic induction of micronuclei, stimulating mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS)-mediated dsRNA sensing in conjunction with the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway. Activation of cytosolic dsRNA sensing cooperates with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) sensing to upregulate immune cell migration and antigen-presenting machinery. Tracing of dsRNA-sequences reveals that dsRNA-forming transcripts are predominantly generated from non-exonic regions, particularly in locations proximal to genes exhibiting high chromatin accessibility. Activation of this pathway by pulsed monopolar spindle 1 (MPS1) inhibitor treatment, which potently induces micronuclei formation, upregulates cytoplasmic dsRNA sensing and thus promotes anti-tumor immunity mediated by cytotoxic lymphocyte activation in vivo. Collectively, our findings uncover a mechanism in which dsRNA sensing cooperates with dsDNA sensing to boost immune responses, offering an approach to enhance the efficacy of cancer therapies targeting genomic instability.
