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 guanosine monophosphate-adenylate synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway constitutes a fundamental mechanism through which the host innate immune system identifies cytoplasmic DNA. This pathway triggers a range of immune responses, notably the production of type I interferon (IFN-I), by detecting both exogenous pathogen-derived DNA and endogenous damage-associated DNA. It plays a pivotal role in anti-infective and anti-tumor responses, as well as in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Nevertheless, within the liver and gastrointestinal system-an environment persistently subjected to microbial and metabolic stress-the functionality of the cGAS-STING pathway demonstrates considerable complexity and context dependence. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the molecular structure and activation mechanisms of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway. It systematically examines the variations in the pathway's role across different disease contexts, cell types, and modes of stimulation. Furthermore, it synthesizes the latest therapeutic strategies targeting this pathway, offering a theoretical foundation and advanced insights for the development of more precise interventions for liver and gastrointestinal diseases.
