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

Reversal of cancer gene expression is predictive of therapeutic potential and can be used to find new indications for existing drugs (drug repositioning). Gene expression reversal potential is currently calculated, in almost all studies, by pre-aggregating all tumour samples into a single group signature or a limited number of molecular subtype signatures. Here, we investigate whether drug repositioning based on individual tumour sample gene expression signatures outperforms the use of tumour group and subtype signatures. The tumour signatures were created using 534 tumour samples and 72 matched normal samples from 530 clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients. More than 20,000 drug signatures were extracted from the CMAP and LINCS databases. We show that negative enrichment of individual tumour samples correlated (Spearman's rho = 0.15) much better with the amount of differentially expressed genes in drug signatures than with the tumour group signature (Rho = 0.08) and the 4 tumour subtype signatures (Rho 0.036-0.11). Targeted drugs used against ccRCC, such as sirolimus and temsirolimus, which could not be identified with the pre-aggregated tumour signatures could be recovered using individual sample analysis. Thus, drug repositioning can be personalized by taking into account the gene expression profile of the individual's tumour sample.
