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

High coverage and mutual exclusivity (HCME), which are considered two combinatorial properties of mutations in a collection of driver genes in cancers, have been used to develop mathematical programming models for distinguishing cancer driver gene sets. In this paper, we summarize a weak HCME pattern to justify the description of practical mutation datasets. We then present AWRMP, a method for identifying driver gene sets through the adaptive assignment of appropriate weights to gene candidates to tune the balance between coverage and mutual exclusivity. It embeds the genetic algorithm into the subsampling strategy to provide the optimization results robust against the uncertainty and noise in the data. Using biological datasets, we show that AWRMP can identify driver gene sets that satisfy the weak HCME pattern and outperform the state-of-arts methods in terms of robustness.
