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.

2 · The registry

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

Classical tumor suppressor gene discovery has largely involved linkage analysis and loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH) screens, followed by detailed mapping of relatively large chromosomal regions. Subsequent efforts made use of genome-wide PCR-based methods to detect rare homozygous deletions. More recently, high-resolution genomic arrays have been applied to cancer gene discovery. However, accurate characterization of regions of genomic loss is particularly challenging due to sample heterogeneity, the small size of deleted regions and the high frequency of germline copy number polymorphisms. Here, we review the application of genome-wide copy number analysis to the specific problem of identifying tumor suppressor genes.
