A forward selection algorithm to identify mutually exclusive alterations in cancer studies.
Article in Journal of human genetics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Mutual exclusivity analyses provide an effective tool to identify driver genes from passenger genes for cancer studies. Various algorithms have been developed for the detection of mutual exclusivity, but controlling false positive and improving accuracy remain challenging. We propose a forward selection algorithm for identification of mutually exclusive gene sets (FSME) in this paper. The method includes an initial search of seed pair of mutually exclusive (ME) genes and subsequently including more genes into the current ME set. Simulations demonstrated that, compared to recently published approaches (i.e., CoMEt, WExT, and MEGSA), FSME could provide higher precision or recall rate to identify ME gene sets, and had superior control of false positive rates. With application to TCGA real data sets for AML, BRCA, and GBM, we confirmed that FSME can be utilized to discover cancer driver genes.
