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

purposeTraditional classification of melanoma is widely utilized with little apparent results making the development of robust classifiers that can guide therapies an urgency. Successful seminal research on classification has provided a wider understanding of cancer from multiple molecular profiles, respectively. However, it may ignore the complementary nature of the information provided by different types of data, which motivated us to subtype melanoma by aggregating multiple genomic platform data.

methodsAggregating three omics data of 328 melanoma samples, melanoma subtyping was performed by three clustering methods. Differences across subtypes were extracted by functional enrichment, epigenetically silencing, gene mutations and clinical features. Subtypes were further distinguished by putative biomarkers.

resultsFunctional enrichment of the subtype-specific differential expression genes endowed subtypes new designation: immune, melanin and ion, in which the first subtype was enriched for immune system, the second was characterized by melanin and pigmentation, and the third was enriched for ion-involved transmission process. Subtypes also differed in age, Breslow thickness, tumor site, mutation frequency of BRAF, PTGS2, CDKN2A, CDKN2B and incidence of epigenetically silencing for IL15RA, EPSTI1, LXN, CDKN1B genes.

conclusionsSkin cutaneous melanoma can be robustly divided into three subtypes by SNFCC
