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 cGAS-STING pathway initiates the core cascade of innate immune defense by recognizing pathogen-associated and self-derived abnormal nucleic acids, and key molecules (such as cGAS, STING, downstream IFN-β, IL-6, etc.) may serve as biomarkers in various diseases. The diverse mechanisms by which distinct nucleic acids activate this pathway provide novel insights for therapeutic strategies targeting infectious diseases, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. To prevent aberrant cGAS-STING pathway activation, cells employ multiple regulatory mechanisms, including restricting self-DNA recognition and terminating downstream signaling. Strategies to mitigate pathological activation involve reducing nucleic acid accumulation through nuclease degradation (e.g., of mitochondrial DNA or neutrophil extracellular traps, NETs) or directly inhibiting cGAS or STING. This review elucidates the molecular mechanism of nucleic acid-mediated regulation of cGAS-STING and its role in disease regulation.
