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 SWI/SNF complex was first identified in yeast and named after studies of mutants critical for the mating-type switch (SWI) and sucrose non-fermenting (SNF) pathways.The SWI/SNF complex plays a pivotal role in regulating gene expression by altering chromatin structure to promote or suppress the expression of specific genes, maintain stem cell pluripotency, and participate in various biological processes. Mutations in the SWI/SNF complex are highly prevalent in various human cancers, significantly impacting tumor suppressive or oncogenic functions and influencing tumor initiation and progression. This review focuses on the mechanisms by which ARID1A/ARID1B, PBRM1, SMARCB1, and SMARCA2/SMARCA4 contribute to cancer, the immunoregulatory roles of the SWI/SNF complex, its involvement in DNA repair pathways, synthetic lethality, and applications in precision oncology.
