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.

Abstract

ARID1A, a component of the SWI/SNF tumor suppressor complex, is frequently mutated in colorectal cancers (CRC). Here, it is found that CRC with ARID1A/TP53 concurrent mutations is highly sensitive to WEE1 inhibitors. ARID1A deficiency promoted the accumulation of R-loops, leading to replication stress. This stress, combined with the loss of G1/S and G2/M checkpoint controls due to P53 and WEE1 dysfunction, resulted in substantial DNA damage. Through chromatin accessibility sequencing, it is further revealed that ARID1A loss impaired ATF3 transcription, thereby exacerbating WEE1-inhibitor-induced DNA damage and cell death. This preclinical evidence is supported by a phase 1b/2 trial of WEE1-inhibitor-based therapy in metastatic CRC patients (NCT06363552), where one patient harboring ARID1A/TP53 concurrent mutations achieved liver lesion regression. Moreover, though CRISPR knockout screening, it is found that concurrent AKT blockade significantly augmented the antitumor effects of the WEE1 inhibitor. In conclusion, WEE1 inhibition offers a promising therapeutic strategy for ARID1A/TP53 concurrent mutant CRC.
