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.
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
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are primarily characterized by activating mutations of tyrosine kinase or platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha. Although the revolutionary therapeutic outcomes of imatinib are well known, the long-term benefits of imatinib are still unclear. The effects of BRD9, a recently identified subunit of noncanonical BAF complex (ncBAF) chromatin remodeling complexes, in GISTs are not clear. In the current study, we evaluated the functional role of BRD9 in GIST progression. Our findings demonstrated that the expression of BRD9 was upregulated in GIST tissues. The downregulation or inhibition of BRD9 could significantly reduce cellular proliferation, and facilitates apoptosis in GISTs. BRD9 inhibition could promote PUMA-dependent apoptosis in GISTs and enhance imatinib activity in vitro and in vivo. BRD9 inhibition synergizes with imatinib in GISTs by inducing PUMA upregulation. Mechanism study revealed that BRD9 inhibition promotes PUMA induction via the TUFT1/AKT/GSK-3β/p65 axis. Furthermore, imatinib also upregulates PUMA by targeting AKT/GSK-3β/p65 axis. In conclusion, our results indicated that BRD9 plays a key role in the progression of GISTs. Inhibition of BRD9 is a novel therapeutic strategy in GISTs treated alone or in combination with imatinib.
