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 cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon gene protein (STING) signaling plays a critical role in innate immunity and must be tightly regulated to maintain immune homeostasis, but the mechanism underlying the spatiotemporal regulation of this pathway remains largely elusive. Here, it is shown that during DNA viral infection, the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) and ovarian tumor deubiquitinase with linear linkage specificity (OTULIN) reversibly catalyze the linear ubiquitination of STING. At the early stage of the infection, LUBAC promotes STING linear ubiquitination to drive its trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus through binding to the Sec24b subunit of the coat protein complex II (COPII) complex. Later on, OTULIN is recruited to TANK1 binding kinase 1 (TBK1)-phosphorylated STING and removes its linear ubiquitin chains, thus preventing excessive antiviral immune responses. Together, the study uncovers a linear ubiquitination-governed spatiotemporal regulatory mechanism that fine-tunes STING-driven antiviral immunity.
