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

introductionEGFR mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are associated with a poor response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), and only 20% of NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutations benefit from immunotherapy. Novel biomarkers or therapeutics are needed to predict NSCLC prognosis and enhance the efficacy of ICIs in NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutations, especially lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients, who account for approximately 40-50% of all NSCLC cases.

methodsAn ARID1A-knockdown (ARID1A-KD) EGFR-mutant LUAD cell line was constructed using lentivirus. RNA-seq and mass spectrometry were performed. Western blotting and IHC were used for protein expression evaluation. Effects of 3-MA and rapamycin on cells were explored. Immunofluorescence assays were used for immune cell infiltration examination.

resultsARID1A expression was negatively associated with immune cell infiltration and immune scores for ICIs in LUAD with EGFR mutations. In vitro experiments suggested that ARID1A-KD activates the EGFR/PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway and inhibits autophagy, which attenuates the inhibition of Rig-I-like receptor pathway activity and type I interferon production in EGFR-mutant LUAD cells. In addition, 3-MA upregulated production of type I interferon in EGFR-mutant LUAD cells, with an similar effect to ARID1A-KD. On the other hand, rapamycin attenuated the enhanced production of type I interferon in ARID1A-KD EGFR-mutant LUAD cells. ARID1A function appears to influence the tumor immune microenvironment and response to ICIs.

conclusionARID1A deficiency reverses response to ICIs in EGFR-mutant LUAD by enhancing autophagy-inhibited type I interferon production. Video Abstract.
