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

backgroundCopy number variation (CNV) is an important form of genomic structural variation and is linked to dozens of human diseases. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) data and developing computational methods to characterize such structural variants is significant for understanding the mechanisms of diseases.

objectiveThe objective of this study is to develop a new statistical method of detection recurrent CNVs across multiple samples from genomic sequences.

methodsA statistical method is carried out to detect recurrent CNVs, referred to as SM-RCNV. This method uses a statistic associated with each location by combining the frequency of variation at one location across whole samples and the correlation among consecutive locations. The weights of the frequency and correlation are trained using real datasets with known CNVs. P-value is assessed for each location on the genome by permutation testing.

resultsCompared with six peer methods, SM-RCNV outperforms the peer methods under receiver operating characteristic curves. SM-RCNV successfully identifies many consistent recurrent CNVs, most of which are known to be of biological significance and associated with diseased genes. The validation rate of SM-RCNV in the CEU call set and YRI call set with Database of Genomic Variants are 258/328 (79%) and (157/309) 51%, respectively.

conclusionSM-RCNV is a well-grounded statistical framework for detecting recurrent CNVs from multiple genomic sequences, providing valuable information to study genomes in human diseases. The source code is freely available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/sm-rcnv/ .
