cGAS-STING: mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities.
Review in Science China. Life sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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 pathway plays a crucial role in the innate immune system by detecting mislocalized double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in the cytoplasm and triggering downstream signal transduction. Understanding the mechanisms by which cGAS and STING operate is vital for gaining insights into the biology of this pathway. This review provides a detailed examination of the structural features of cGAS and STING proteins, with a particular emphasis on their activation and inhibition mechanisms. We also discuss the novel discovery of STING functioning as an ion channel. Furthermore, we offer an overview of key agonists and antagonists of cGAS and STING, shedding light on their mechanisms of action. Deciphering the molecular intricacies of the cGAS-STING pathway holds significant promise for the development of targeted therapies aimed at maintaining immune homeostasis within both innate and adaptive immunity.
