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

The health of individuals is seriously threatened by intestinal cancer, which includes pancreatic, colorectal, esophageal, gastric and gallbladder cancer. Most gastrointestinal cancers do not have typical and specific early symptoms, and lack specific and effective diagnostic markers and treatment methods. It is critical to understand the etiology of gastrointestinal cancer and develop more efficient methods of diagnosis and treatment. The cyclic GMP‑AMP synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway serves a crucial role in the occurrence, progression and treatment of gastrointestinal cancer. The present review focuses on the latest progress regarding the role and mechanism of the cGAS/STING pathway in gastrointestinal cancer, and discusses treatment approaches and related applications based on the cGAS/STING signaling pathway. In order to improve the knowledge of the connection between the cGAS/STING pathway and gastrointestinal cancer, aid the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, and lessen the burden on patients and society, the present review also discusses future research directions and existing challenges regarding cGAS/STING in the study of gastrointestinal cancer.
