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

Motivation: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) has greatly advanced cancer research by generating, curating and publicly releasing deeply measured molecular data from thousands of tumor samples. In particular, gene expression measures, both within and across cancer types, have been used to determine the genes and proteins that are active in tumor cells. Results: To more thoroughly investigate the behavior of gene expression in TCGA tumor samples, we introduce a statistical framework for partitioning the variation in gene expression due to a variety of molecular variables including somatic mutations, transcription factors (TFs), microRNAs, copy number alternations, methylation and germ-line genetic variation. As proof-of-principle, we identify and validate specific TFs that influence the expression of PTPN14 in breast cancer cells. Availability and implementation: We provide a freely available, user-friendly, browseable interactive web-based application for exploring the results of our transcriptome-wide analyses across 17 different cancers in TCGA at http://ls-shiny-prod.uwm.edu/edge_in_tcga. All TCGA Open Access tier data are available at the Broad Institute GDAC Firehose and were downloaded using the TCGA2STAT R package. TCGA Controlled Access tier data are available via controlled access through the Genomic Data Commons (GDC). R scripts used to download, format and analyze the data and produce the interactive R/Shiny web app have been made available on GitHub at https://github.com/andreamrau/EDGE-in-TCGA.
