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

backgroundCollaborative projects such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) have generated various -omics and clinical data on cancer. Many computational tools have been developed to facilitate the study of the molecular characterization of tumors using data from the TCGA. Alternative splicing of a gene produces splicing variants, and accumulating evidence has revealed its essential role in cancer-related processes, implying the urgent need to discover tumor-specific isoforms and uncover their potential functions in tumorigenesis.

resultWe developed TSVdb, a web-based tool, to explore alternative splicing based on TCGA samples with 30 clinical variables from 33 tumors. TSVdb has an integrated and well-proportioned interface for visualization of the clinical data, gene expression, usage of exons/junctions and splicing patterns. Researchers can interpret the isoform expression variations between or across clinical subgroups and estimate the relationships between isoforms and patient prognosis. TSVdb is available at http://www.tsvdb.com , and the source code is available at https://github.com/wenjie1991/TSVdb .

conclusionTSVdb will inspire oncologists and accelerate isoform-level advances in cancer research.
