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

The cGAS-STING signaling pathway is a critical component of the innate immune response, playing a significant role in various diseases. As a central element of this pathway, STING responds to both endogenous and exogenous DNA stimuli, triggering the production of interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines to enhance immune defenses against tumors and pathogens. However, dysregulated activation of the STING pathway is implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple diseases, including autoinflammation, viral infections, and cancer. Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs), which have a long history of use, have been associated with positive effects in disease prevention and treatment. TCM formulations (e.g., Lingguizhugan Decoction, Yi-Shen-Xie-Zhuo formula) and active compounds (e.g., Glabridin, Ginsenoside Rd) can modulate the cGAS-STING signaling pathway, thereby influencing the progression of inflammatory, infectious, or oncological diseases. This review explores the mechanisms by which TCMs interact with the cGAS-STING pathway to regulate immunity, focusing on their roles in infectious diseases, malignancies, and autoimmune disorders.
