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

objectiveAT-rich interaction domain 1A (ARID1A) mutant tumors show active anti-tumor immune response, which is the potential indication of immunotherapy. However, the relationship between the heterogeneous ARID1A expression and the immune response and immunotherapy efficacy in colorectal cancer (CRC) is still unclear.

methodsWe collected 1113 cases of patients with stage I-IV CRC who underwent primary resection at Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital. ARID1A expression in CRC tissues was assessed via immunohistochemistry (IHC). CD8, CD163 and FOXP3 were stained by IHC to identify the immune landscape. Clinicopathological features of patients were compared using statistical tests like the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test or χ2 tests. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with log-rank tests were employed.

resultsHeterogeneous ARID1A expression was categorized into integrity expression, complete expression deficiency (cd-ARID1A), partial expression deficiency (pd-ARID1A), and clonal expression deficiency (cld-ARID1A). ARID1A-deficient expression was significant association with dMMR (P value < 0.001). Patients with ARID1A deficiency, compared to ARID1A-proficient patients, exhibited increased infiltration levels of CD8 + P value < 0.0001), CD163 + P value < 0.001), and FOXP3 + P value < 0.001).cells within the tumor tissue. However, in different subgroups, only samples with complete or partial deficiency of ARID1A showed a higher abundance of lymphocyte infiltration. In patients with ARID1A-clonal expression deficiency tumor, the infiltration patterns of three immune cell types were comparable to those in ARID1A-proficient patients. Heterogeneous ARID1A expression is related to the different prognosis and immunotherapythe efficacy in CRC patients.

conclusionHeterogeneous ARID1A expression is accompanied by a different immune landscape. CRC patients with ARID1A-clonal expression deficiency do not benefit from the treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
