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

motivationGenetic analysis of cancer regularly includes two or more samples from the same patient. Somatic copy number alterations leading to allelic imbalance (AI) play a critical role in cancer initiation and progression. Directional analysis and visualization of the alleles in imbalance in multi-sample settings allow for inference of recurrent mutations, providing insights into mutation rates, clonality and the genomic architecture and etiology of cancer.

resultsThe REpeat Chromosomal changes Uncovered by Reflection (RECUR) is an R application for the comparative analysis of AI profiles derived from SNP array and next-generation sequencing data. The algorithm accepts genotype calls and 'B allele' frequencies (BAFs) from at least two samples derived from the same individual. For a predefined set of genomic regions with AI, RECUR compares BAF values among samples. In the presence of AI, the expected value of a BAF can shift in two possible directions, reflecting an increased or decreased abundance of the maternal haplotype, relative to the paternal. The phenomenon of opposite haplotype shifts, or 'mirrored subclonal allelic imbalance', is a form of heterogeneity, and has been linked to clinico-pathological features of cancer. RECUR detects such genomic segments of opposite haplotypes in imbalance and plots BAF values for all samples, using a two-color scheme for intuitive visualization. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: RECUR is available as an R application. Source code and documentation are available at scheet.org. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
