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

It has become increasingly common for large-scale public data repositories and clinical settings to have multiple types of data, including high-dimensional genomics, epigenomics, and proteomics data as well as survival data, measured simultaneously for the same group of biological samples, which provides unprecedented opportunities to understand cancer mechanisms from a more comprehensive scope and to develop new cancer therapies. Nevertheless, how to interpret a wealth of data into biologically and clinically meaningful information remains very challenging. In this paper, I review recent development in statistics for integrative analyses of cancer data. Topics will cover meta-analysis of homogeneous type of data across multiple studies, integrating multiple heterogeneous genomic data types, survival analysis with high-or ultrahigh-dimensional genomic profiles, and cross-data-type prediction where both predictors and responses are high-or ultrahigh-dimensional vectors. I compare existing statistical methods and comment on potential future research problems.
