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 AT-rich Interactive Domain 1A (ARID1A) is one of the most frequently mutated genes in gastric cancer. Here, we found that genetic variants in noncoding regions of ARID1A associated with altered protein levels by target sequencing. Notably, tumors with ARID1A variants in the 3'untranslated region (3'UTR) exhibited remarkably increased heterogeneity of ARID1A protein. In general, genetic variants and protein deficiency of ARID1A in tumors were associated with a better survival. Strikingly, altered patterns and heterogeneity of ARID1A protein expression were observed in peritumor tissues and carried significant implications in defining tumor immune contexture by multiplex immunohistochemistry. By analyzing the spatial distribution of TILs, we showed that reduced ARID1A protein levels in both tumor and peritumor tissues were significantly correlated with increased density and proximity of TILs to tumor cells. In contrast, high heterogeneity of ARID1A expression was associated with increased TIL density, but reduced proximity of TILs to tumor cells. Collectively, our study characterized ARID1A genetic alterations and its protein expression patterns in EOGC, demonstrating new strategies for clinically assessing its molecular impact on tumor onset and progression, tumor immune response, and patient survival.
