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

In hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI), the cGAS-STING pathway serves as a central regulatory hub by sensing aberrant mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release. Ischemia-reperfusion triggers mtDNA leakage through mechanisms including mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening, voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) oligomerization, and excessive fission. Cytosolic mtDNA activates cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), catalyzing the synthesis of cGAMP, which stimulates stimulator of interferon genes (STING) oligomerization and translocation. This activates the TBK1-IRF3/NF-κB axis, driving expression of type I interferons (IFN-I) and pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby amplifying neutrophil infiltration, macrophage pyroptosis, and hepatocyte apoptosis. The pathway bidirectionally interacts with oxidative stress and mitophagy, exhibiting cell-type specificity: in hepatocytes, cGAS promotes protective STING-independent autophagy, whereas in macrophages, STING drives inflammatory activation. Targeted inhibition of cGAS-STING signaling and mitochondrial stabilization represent promising therapeutic strategies.
