BCL7B, a SWI/SNF complex subunit, orchestrates cancer immunity and stemness.
Article in BMC cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Cancer is one of the main causes of human death. Here, we focus on the B-cell lymphoma 7 protein family member B (BCL7B) gene, an accessory subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodelling complex. To characterize the function of BCL7B, heterozygous BCL7B-deficient stomach cancer cell lines were generated with the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system. The comprehensive gene expression patterns were compared between parental cells and each ΔBCL7B cell line by RNA-seq. The results showed marked downregulation of immune-related genes and upregulation of stemness-related genes in the ΔBCL7B cell lines. Moreover, by ChIP-seq analysis with H3K27me3 antibody, the changes of epigenetic modification sequences were compared between parental cells and each ΔBCL7B cell line. After machine learning, we detected the centroid sequence changes, which exerted an impact on antigen presentation. The regulation of BCL7B expression in cancer cells gives rise to cancer stem cell-like characteristics and the acquisition of an immune evasion phenotype.
