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

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury frequently occurs during the perioperative phase of liver surgery. Inappropriate activation of STING signaling can trigger excessive inflammation response to aggravate hepatic I/R injury. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is an FDA-approved immunomodulatory drug used to treat multiple sclerosis and psoriasis due to its notable anti-inflammation properties. However, the mechanism and targets of DMF in immunomodulation remain unclear. Here, we found that DMF suppresses cGAS-STING activation induced by HSV-1, hering testis DNA, and mitochondrial DNA in a variety of cells. DMF significantly reduces hepatic I/R injury and inhibits cGAS-STING pathway activation in mice. The alleviating effect of DMF on hepatic I/R injury was negligible in STING-knockout mice. Mechanistically, DMF directly inhibits STING activation via an autophagy-independent pathway, and the immunocoprecipitation experiment showed that DMF inhibited STING recruitment of downstream TBK1 and IRF3. Our study found that DMF protects liver I/R injury by inhibiting the STING pathway and may be a potential target of this disease.
