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

purposeInvestigations of the molecular basis for the development, progression, and treatment of cancer increasingly use complementary genomic assays to gather multiomic data, but management and analysis of such data remain complex. The cBioPortal for cancer genomics currently provides multiomic data from > 260 public studies, including The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data sets, but integration of different data types remains challenging and error prone for computational methods and tools using these resources. Recent advances in data infrastructure within the Bioconductor project enable a novel and powerful approach to creating fully integrated representations of these multiomic, pan-cancer databases.

methodsWe provide a set of R/Bioconductor packages for working with TCGA legacy data and cBioPortal data, with special considerations for loading time; efficient representations in and out of memory; analysis platform; and an integrative framework, such as MultiAssayExperiment. Large methylation data sets are provided through out-of-memory data representation to provide responsive loading times and analysis capabilities on machines with limited memory.

resultsWe developed the curatedTCGAData and cBioPortalData R/Bioconductor packages to provide integrated multiomic data sets from the TCGA legacy database and the cBioPortal web application programming interface using the MultiAssayExperiment data structure. This suite of tools provides coordination of diverse experimental assays with clinicopathological data with minimal data management burden, as demonstrated through several greatly simplified multiomic and pan-cancer analyses.

conclusionThese integrated representations enable analysts and tool developers to apply general statistical and plotting methods to extensive multiomic data through user-friendly commands and documented examples.
