SMARCA4 and SMARCE1 in gastric cancer: Correlation with ARID1A, and microsatellite stability, and SMARCE1/ERBB2 co-amplification.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundRecent studies have shown an association between certain subunits of the SWI/SNF complex with specific tumor characteristics in gastric cancer (GC). In an earlier study, we applied multiregional whole exome sequencing on multiple primary tumor samples and found alterations of the SWI/SNF complex in 78% of the cases. ERBB2, which encodes for Her2/neu, is a well-known predictive biomarker used to guide the treatment of GC in the palliative setting. SMARCE1, which encodes for a subunit of the SWI/SNF complex, is localized in close genetic proximity to ERBB2.
aimAs little is known about the significance of the SWI/SNF complex in GC biology and the potential relationship between ERBB2 and SMARCE1 upregulation, we examined the expression patterns of SMARCA4 and SMARCE1, two mutually exclusive catalytic ATPase subunits of the SWI/SNF complex, in a well characterized GC cohort. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe expression of SMARCA4 and SMARCE1 was studied by immunohistochemistry in connection with clinicopathological patient characteristics in a cohort of 468 GCs. Digital droplet polymerase chain reaction was performed for amplification analysis on ERBB2 and SMARCE1.
resultsImmunohistochemical staining of whole-mount tissue sections found a diffusely "gray scale" expression of SMARCA4 in 446 (95.2%) GCs and of SMARCE1 in 463 (98.8%) GCs. The expression of SMARCA4 and SMARCE1 correlated significantly with ARID1A, p53, and microsatellite status. No correlation was found with the patient prognosis. The amplification analysis of SMARCE1 showed amplification in 4 of 34 cases. In 3 of 34 cases, SMARCE1 was co-amplified with ERBB2. We also found a co-expression of SMARCE1 and Her2/neu in a subset of patients.
conclusionWhile the effect of a co-amplification is currently unknown, synergistic effects of SMARCE1 and Her2/neu overexpression should be explored in future studies, holding potential for an improved treatment of GC.
