Cardiomyocyte-Derived USP20 Attenuates Diabetic Cardiomyopathy by Facilitating the Degradation of STING and Mitigating STING-Mediated Inflammation.
Article in FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Although extensive clinical and basic research has been conducted on diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM), the therapeutic efficacy for this condition remains significantly limited. Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 20 (USP20), a deubiquitinating enzyme, plays an essential role in regulating protein ubiquitination and modulating various cellular processes. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of USP20 on the pathogenesis of DbCM, which may provide a novel therapeutic target for its treatment. The cardiomyocyte-specific USP20 conditional knockout (USP20CKO) mice were employed in this study. The type 2 diabetes mouse model was established using db/db leptin receptor-deficient mice and high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced mice. USP20 expression was downregulated in the myocardium of diabetic mice. Cardiomyocyte-specific USP20 deficiency aggravated cardiac remodeling and myocardial dysfunction in diabetic mice. LC-MS/MS analysis, along with Co-IP results, demonstrated the interaction between stimulator of interferon genes (STING) and USP20. In mechanism, USP20 directly binds to STING and promotes its degradation through the autophagy pathway by deubiquitinating p62 via its active site C154, thereby alleviating the myocardial inflammation and improving ventricular remodeling and heart failure induced by diabetes.
