Type I Interferon Signaling Augments Autoimmunity in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibody-mediated astrocyte damage and subsequent demyelination. Prior attempts to treat NMOSD with interferon-beta (IFN-β), a disease-modifying therapy for multiple sclerosis, resulted in worsening of disease activity, with an unknown mechanism. Here, robust activation of the cGAS-STING-IFN-I signaling pathway is identified in myeloid cells in both the periphery and central nervous system. The abnormal IFN-I response gives rise to an increase in the number of AQP4 antigen-specific autoreactive T cells. Sting deficiency can significantly blunt the activation of AQP4-specific T cells, as well as the IFN-I activity in microglia, and attenuate astrocyte damage. Consequently, the clinical manifestation of NMOSD is ameliorated in a passive transfer mouse model of NMOSD. Further, treatment with STING inhibitor H151 alleviates the severity of NMOSD mouse models. These findings uncover the cGAS-STING-IFN-I pathway in promoting autoreactive T cells and establish a foundation for inhibiting this pathway as a new therapeutic revenue for NMOSD.
