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

ARID1A, encoding a subunit of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, is widely recognized as a tumor suppressor gene in multiple tumor types including liver cancer. Previous studies have demonstrated that ARID1A deficiency can cause liver cancer metastasis, possibly due to the altered chromatin organization, however the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. To address the effect of Arid1a deficiency on chromatin organization, we generated chromatin interaction matrices, and exploited the conformation changes upon Arid1a depletion in hepatocytes. Our results demonstrated that Arid1a deficiency induced A/B compartment switching, topologically associated domain (TAD) remodeling, and decrease of chromatin loops. Further mechanism studies revealed that ATPase BRG1 of SWI/SNF complex could physically interact with RAD21, a structural subunit of chromatin architectural element cohesin; whereas ARID1A deficiency significantly diminished the coupled BRG1-RAD21. Interestingly, the tumor-associated genes within the switched compartments were differentially expressed depending upon Arid1a depletion or not. As a consequence of ARID1A deficiency-induced conformational alteration, the dysregulation of some genes such as PMP22 and GSC, promoted the invasion capacity of liver cancer cells. This study provides an insight into liver cancer tumorigenesis and progression related to ARID1A mutations.
