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

Background: Genomic profiling efforts have revealed a rich diversity of oncogenic fusion genes. While there are many methods for identifying fusion genes from RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data, visualizing these transcripts and their supporting reads remains challenging. Findings: Clinker is a bioinformatics tool written in Python, R, and Bpipe that leverages the superTranscript method to visualize fusion genes. We demonstrate the use of Clinker to obtain interpretable visualizations of the RNA-seq data that lead to fusion calls. In addition, we use Clinker to explore multiple fusion transcripts with novel breakpoints within the P2RY8-CRLF2 fusion gene in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Conclusions: Clinker is freely available software that allows visualization of fusion genes and the RNA-seq data used in their discovery.
