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

One of the obstacles hindering a better understanding of cancer is its heterogeneity. However, computational approaches to model cancer heterogeneity have lagged behind. To bridge this gap, we have developed a new probabilistic approach that models individual cancer cases as mixtures of subtypes. Our approach can be seen as a meta-model that summarizes the results of a large number of alternative models. It does not assume predefined subtypes nor does it assume that such subtypes have to be sharply defined. Instead given a measure of phenotypic similarity between patients and a list of potential explanatory features, such as mutations, copy number variation, microRNA levels, etc., it explains phenotypic similarities with the help of these features. We applied our approach to Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). The resulting model Prob_GBM, not only correctly inferred known relationships but also identified new properties underlining phenotypic similarities. The proposed probabilistic framework can be applied to model relations between similarity of gene expression and a broad spectrum of potential genetic causes.
