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

Neoantigens have attracted attention as biomarkers or therapeutic targets. However, accurate prediction of neoantigens is still challenging, especially in terms of its accuracy and cost. Variant detection using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data has been reported to be a low-accuracy but cost-effective tool, but the feasibility of RNA-seq data for neoantigen prediction has not been fully examined. In the present study, we used whole-exome sequencing (WES) and RNA-seq data of tumor and matched normal samples from six breast cancer patients to evaluate the utility of RNA-seq data instead of WES data in variant calling to detect neoantigen candidates. Somatic variants were called in three protocols using: (i) tumor and normal WES data (DNA method, Dm); (ii) tumor and normal RNA-seq data (RNA method, Rm); and (iii) combination of tumor RNA-seq and normal WES data (Combination method, Cm). We found that the Rm had both high false-positive and high false-negative rates because this method depended greatly on the expression status of normal transcripts. When we compared the results of Dm with those of Cm, only 14% of the neoantigen candidates detected in Dm were identified in Cm, but the majority of the missed candidates lacked coverage or variant allele reads in the tumor RNA. In contrast, about 70% of the neoepitope candidates with higher expression and rich mutant transcripts could be detected in Cm. Our results showed that Cm could be an efficient and a cost-effective approach to predict highly expressed neoantigens in tumor samples.
