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

backgroundAT-rich interaction domain 1A (ARID1A) has been proposed as a new biomarker for predicting response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The predictive value of ARID1A for predicting ICI effectiveness has not been reported for endometrial cancer. Therefore, we investigated whether ARID1A negativity predicts ICI effectiveness for endometrial cancer treatment.

methodsWe evaluated ARID1A expression, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (CD8+), and immune checkpoint molecules (PD-L1/PD-1) by immunostaining endometrial samples from patients with endometrial cancer. Samples in which any of the four mismatch repair proteins (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2) were determined to be negative via immunostaining were excluded. In the ARID1A-negative group, microsatellite instability (MSI) status was confirmed via MSI analysis.

resultsOf the 102 samples investigated, 25 (24.5%) were ARID1A-negative. CD8 and PD-1 expression did not differ significantly between the ARID1A-negative group and the ARID1A-positive group; however, the ARID1A-negative group showed significantly lower PD-L1 expression. Only three samples (14.2%) in the ARID1A-negative group showed high MSI. Sanger sequencing detected three cases of pathological mutation in the MSH2-binding regions. We also established an ARID1A-knockout human ovarian endometriotic epithelial cell line (HMOsisEC7 ARID1A KO), which remained microsatellite-stable after passage.

conclusionARID1A negativity is not suitable as a biomarker for ICI effectiveness in treating endometrial cancer.
