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

backgroundTranscriptomic structural variants (TSVs)-large-scale transcriptome sequence change due to structural variation - are common in cancer. TSV detection from high-throughput sequencing data is a computationally challenging problem. Among all the confounding factors, sample heterogeneity, where each sample contains multiple distinct alleles, poses a critical obstacle to accurate TSV prediction.

resultsTo improve TSV detection in heterogeneous RNA-seq samples, we introduce the Multiple Compatible Arrangements Problem (MCAP), which seeks

conclusionsWe show that the solution to MCAP accurately addresses sample heterogeneity during TSV detection. Our algorithms have improved performance on TCGA cancer samples and cancer cell line samples compared to a TSV calling tool, SQUID. The software is available at https://github.com/Kingsford-Group/diploidsquid.
