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

STING1 is an essential component of the innate immune defense against a wide variety of pathogens. Whereas induction of type I interferon (IFN) responses is one of the best-defined functions of STING1, our transcriptomic analysis revealed IFN-independent activities of STING1 in macrophages, including transcriptional upregulation of numerous lysosomal and autophagic genes. This upregulation was mediated by the STING1-induced activation of the transcription factors TFEB and TFE3, and led to increased autophagy, lysosomal biogenesis, and lysosomal acidification. TFEB and TFE3 also modulated IFN-dependent STING1 signaling by controlling IRF3 activation. IFN production and cell death were increased in TFEB- and TFE3-depleted iBMDMs. Conversely, TFEB overexpression led to reduced IRF3 activation and an almost complete inhibition of IFN synthesis and secretion, resulting in decreased CASP3 activation and increased cell survival. Our study reveals a key role of TFEB and TFE3 as regulators of STING1-mediated innate antiviral immunity.
