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

Precise regulation of stimulator of interferon genes (STING) expression is critical for maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing autoimmune disorders. In this study, phenazine biosynthesis-like domain-containing protein (PBLD) is identified as a key modulator of the STING-dependent antiviral type I interferon (IFN) response by suppressing coiled-coil domain-containing protein 50 (CCDC50)-mediated selective autophagic degradation of STING. Notably, viral infection downregulates PBLD expression through two distinct mechanisms: transcriptional suppression via reduced transcription factor EB (TFEB) activity, and post-translational degradation through an enhanced membrane-associated RING finger protein 2 (MARCH2)-mediated ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Together, these mechanisms establish a negative feedback loop that facilitates viral immune evasion. Moreover, Pbld-deficient mice exhibit increased susceptibility to human adenovirus type 4 (HAdV-4) infection compared with their wild-type (WT) littermates. Importantly, Pbld-deficiency in the 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane (TMPD)-induced lupus mice model attenuates STING expression and diminishes autoimmune phenotypes. Clinically, PBLD expression is elevated in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and positively correlates with STING-driven type I IFN signaling. Taken together, PBLD plays a dual role in STING-mediated innate immunity against viral infection and autoimmunity, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for both antiviral infections and autoimmune diseases.
