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 stimulator of interferon gene (STING) is an important innate immune mediator of the cytoplasmic DNA sensing pathway. As a mediator known for its role in the immune response to infections, STING is also surprisingly at the center of a variety of non-infectious human diseases, including cancer, autoimmune diseases and neurodegenerative diseases. Recent studies have shown that STING has many signaling activities, including type I interferon (IFN-I) and other IFN-independent activities, many of which are poorly understood. STING also has the unique property of being continuous transported from the ER to the Golgi then to the lysosome. Mutations of STING or trafficking cofactors are associated with human diseases affecting multiple immune and non-immune organs. Here, we review recent advances in STING trafficking and signaling mechanisms based in part on studies of STING-associated monogenic inborn error diseases.
