Marine Bromophenol Derivatives as a Novel Class of Potent Small-Molecule STING Agonists.
Article in Current issues in molecular biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Activation of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer immunotherapy. However, the initial cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) analogs developed as STING agonists have shown limited efficacy in clinical trials, prompting interest in non-CDN small-molecule alternatives. In this study, we identified a novel series of bromophenol derivatives as effective STING agonists. Among these derivatives, OSBP63 robustly activated the STING signaling pathway, resulting in enhanced phosphorylation of interferon regulatory factor 3 (p-IRF3) and increased secretion of interferon-β (IFN-β). Co-administration of Marine Bromophenol Derivative (OSBP63) with paclitaxel (PTX), a conventional anticancer drug, significantly suppressed B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) expression and protein kinase B (AKT) phosphorylation, thereby demonstrating pronounced anti-tumor activity in a mouse model of breast cancer. These findings suggest that OSBP63 represents a promising non-CDN small-molecule STING agonist candidate, offering a valuable lead for future anticancer therapeutic development.
