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

backgroundMulti-gene lists and single sample predictor models have been currently used to reduce the multidimensional complexity of breast cancers, and to identify intrinsic subtypes. The perceived inability of some models to deal with the challenges of processing high-dimensional data, however, limits the accurate characterisation of these subtypes. Towards the development of robust strategies, we designed an iterative approach to consistently discriminate intrinsic subtypes and improve class prediction in the METABRIC dataset.

findingsIn this study, we employed the CM1 score to identify the most discriminative probes for each group, and an ensemble learning technique to assess the ability of these probes on assigning subtype labels using 24 different classifiers. Our analysis is comprised of an iterative computation of these methods and statistical measures performed on a set of over 2000 samples. The refined labels assigned using this iterative approach revealed to be more consistent and in better agreement with clinicopathological markers and patients' overall survival than those originally provided by the PAM50 method.

conclusionsThe assignment of intrinsic subtypes has a significant impact in translational research for both understanding and managing breast cancer. The refined labelling, therefore, provides more accurate and reliable information by improving the source of fundamental science prior to clinical applications in medicine.
