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

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) is an important pathogen that seriously endangers pig breeding, causing significant economic losses to the global swine industry. Our previous study found that the DNA sensing innate cGAS-STING signaling pathway plays an important role in inducing interferon (IFN) upon PRRSV infection and inhibition of PRRSV replication. However, the mechanism underlying immune evasion by PRRSV remains unclear. In the current study, we found that PRRSV non-structural protein 5 (Nsp5) strongly inhibits the cGAS-STING-IFN antiviral response. Furthermore, we found that Nsp5 interacts with STING, blocking STING transport from the ER to the Golgi apparatus and interfering with STING recruitment of TBK1/IKKε/IRF3. Finally, we demonstrated that the Nsp5 36-47 and 58-67 amino acid regions are critical for inhibiting STING activity and PRRSV replication. This study describes a novel mechanism by which PRRSV suppresses the host innate antiviral response and has implications for our understanding of PRRSV pathogenesis.
