Identification of Geographic Specific SARS-Cov-2 Mutations by Random Forest Classification and Variable Selection Methods.
Article in Statistics and applications, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
RNA viral genomes have very high mutations rates. As infection spreads in the host populations, different viral lineages emerge acquiring independent mutations that can lead to varied infection and death rates in different parts of the world. By application of Random Forest classification and feature selection methods, we developed an analysis pipeline for identification of geographic specific mutations and classification of different viral lineages, focusing on the missense-variants that alter the function of the encoded proteins. We applied the pipeline on publicly available SARS-CoV-2 datasets and demonstrated that the analysis pipeline accurately identified country or region-specific viral lineages and specific mutations that discriminate different lineages. The results presented here can help designing country-specific diagnostic strategies and prioritizing the mutations for functional interpretation and experimental validations.
