Figure 6A showed the different clusters of these co-cited references, and 15 clusters were divided by CiteSpace: STING agonist, dsDNA-induced oligomerization, genomic instability, interferon response, acute kidney injury, NF-κB-dependent broad antiviral response, DNA damage response, human cytomegalovirus tegument protein, STING-dependent innate immunity, small molecule, cGAS-STING pathway, STING-dependent cytosolic DNA, early stage, LRRC8 volume-regulated anion channel, and other retroviruses. A timeline view of distinct clusters was presented in Figure 6B. Here, CGAS is linked to kidney injury.
