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

Cancer cell lines (CCL) are an integral part of modern cancer research but are susceptible to misidentification. The increasing popularity of sequencing technologies motivates the in-silico identification of CCLs based on their mutational fingerprint, but care must be taken when identifying heterogeneous data. We recently developed the proof-of-concept Uniquorn 1 method which could reliably identify heterogeneous sequencing data from selected sequencing technologies. Here we present Uniquorn 2, a generic and robust in-silico identification method for CCLs with DNA/RNA-seq and panel-seq information. We benchmarked Uniquorn 2 by cross-identifying 1612 RNA and 3596 panel-sized NGS profiles derived from 1516 CCLs, five repositories, four technologies and three major cancer panel-designs. Our method achieves an accuracy of 96% for RNA-seq and 95% for mixed DNA-seq and RNA-seq identification. Even for a panel of only 94 cancer-related genes, accuracy remains at 82% but decreases when using smaller panels. Uniquorn 2 is freely available as R-Bioconductor-package 'Uniquorn'.
