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 nucleotide GMP-AMP (cGAMP) plays a critical role in mediating the innate immune response through the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway. Recent studies showed that ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 1 (ABCC1) is a cGAMP exporter. The exported cGAMP can be imported into uninfected cells to stimulate a STING-mediated innate immune response. However, the molecular basis of cGAMP export mediated by ABCC1 remains unclear. Here, we report the cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of human ABCC1 in a ligand-free state and a cGAMP-bound state. These structures reveal that ABCC1 forms a homodimer via its N-terminal transmembrane domain. The ligand-bound structure shows that cGAMP is recognized by a positively charged pocket. Mutagenesis and functional studies confirmed the roles of the ligand-binding pocket in cGAMP recognition and export. This study provides insights into the structure and function of ABCC1 as a cGAMP exporter and lays a foundation for future research targeting ABCC1 in infection and anti-cancer immunity.
