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

Background: Concurrent genetic alterations (e.g., TP53 comutations) significantly impair EGFR-TKI responsiveness and survival outcomes in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). AT-rich interactive domain 1A (ARID1A), which is a key subunit of SWI/SNF complexes, demonstrates critical regulatory functions as a tumour suppressor gene in cancer. The aim of this study is to determine the role of ARID1A deficiency in the therapeutic efficacy of EGFR-TKIs in LUAD. Methods: We identified the ARID1A mutation as a potential prognostic marker in EGFR-mutant LUAD by analysing data from cBioPortal. The expression of ARID1A was detected via immunohistochemical staining. A lentivirus was employed to construct the ARID1A knockdown model in PC9 cell. We further analyzed the biological roles of ARID1A knockdown through CCK8, flow cytometry analysis and transwell assay. Results: The ARID1A mutation was associated with poor OS in EGFR-mutant LUAD patients, and the prognostic influence was greater than that of concurrent EGFR mutations with TP53, KRAS, CDKN2A, PIK3CA, RB1 or PTEN. By analysing the clinical data of our centre, we revealed that patients with loss of ARID1A expression demonstrated poorer median progression-free survival (mPFS, 10.3 versus 30 months, Conclusion: ARID1A deficiency may be an independent prognostic factor and attenuates the response to EGFR-TKIs in patients with EGFR-mutant LUAD. In addition, loss of ARID1A expression confers resistance to EGFR-TKI by activating the EGFR/AKT/mTOR signalling axis.
