Inhibition of STING pathway attenuates experimental abdominal aortic aneurysm progression.

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
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a chronic, inflammatory and degenerative vascular disease. Previous studies have demonstrated that stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is involved in multiple inflammatory diseases. However, the role of STING in AAA formation and its possible mechanisms have yet to be investigated. Here, we investigated the role of STING in the development of AAA using two murine AAA models induced by porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE)/β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) or angiotensin II (Ang II). The STING signaling pathway was significantly activated in AAA tissues from both mice and patients. Sting mutation slowed AAA formation, as confirmed by reduced AAA incidence, maximal abdominal aortic diameter, elastin disruption, collagen deposition, and inhibited immune cell infiltration in AAA mice. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that compared with the control, Sting mutation inhibited inflammatory and immune responses in AAA tissues. Similar effects were observed after pharmacological inhibition of STING in Ang II infused ApoE
