Unveiling EXOC4/SEC8: a key player in enhancing antiviral immunity by inhibiting the FBXL19-STING1-SQSTM1 signaling axis.
Article in Autophagy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
As a core aptamer for anti-DNA viral immunity, STING1 (stimulator of interferon response cGAMP interactor 1) is tightly regulated to ensure the proper functioning of the natural antiviral immune response. However, many mechanisms underlying the regulation of STING1 remain largely unknown. In this study, we identify EXOC4/SEC8 (exocyst complex component 4) as a novel positive regulator of DNA virus-triggered type I interferon signaling responses through stabilizing STING1, thereby inhibiting DNA viral replication. Mechanistically, EXOC4 suppresses K27-linked ubiquitination of STING1 at K338, K347, and K370 catalyzed by the E3 ligase FBXL19 (F-box and leucine rich repeat protein 19), thereby preventing ubiquitinated-STING1 from recognition by SQSTM1 (sequestosome 1) for autophagic degradation. Importantly, mice conditionally knocked out for
