Large-scale phenogenomic analysis of human cancers uncovers frequent alterations affecting SMC5/6 complex components in breast cancer.
Article in NAR cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 cells often experience large-scale alterations in genome architecture because of DNA damage and replication stress. Whether mutations in core regulators of chromosome structure can also lead to cancer-promoting loss in genome stability is not fully understood. To address this question, we conducted a systematic analysis of mutations affecting a global regulator of chromosome biology -the SMC5/6 complex- in cancer genomics cohorts. Analysis of 64 959 cancer samples spanning 144 tissue types and 199 different cancer genome studies revealed that the SMC5/6 complex is frequently altered in breast cancer patients. Patient-derived mutations targeting this complex associate with strong phenotypic outcomes such as loss of ploidy control and reduced overall survival. Remarkably, the phenotypic impact of several patient mutations can be observed in a heterozygous context, hence providing an explanation for a prominent role of SMC5/6 mutations in breast cancer pathogenesis. Overall, our findings suggest that genes encoding global effectors of chromosome architecture can act as key contributors to cancer development in humans.
