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

Neurodegenerative diseases share features of neuronal loss, neuroinflammation, and protein aggregation. The cGAS-STING pathway, a key DNA sensor, mediates neuroinflammation via TBK1-IRF3 and IKK-NF-κB axes, inducing type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines. This pathway upregulates ZBP1, promotes PANoptosome assembly, and triggers PANoptosis, releasing DAMPs and creating a self-amplifying "inflammation-death" cycle. In Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, pathological proteins (Aβ, Tau, α-synuclein, TDP-43) or genetic defects (e.g., C9orf72 repeats) cause mitochondrial DNA leakage or genomic instability, activating this axis. This review highlights the cGAS-STING-PANoptotic cascade as a shared pathogenic mechanism and discusses the current evidence and remaining challenges in confirming this hypothesis.
