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

backgroundAt diagnosis tumours are typically composed of a mixture of genomically distinct malignant cell populations. Bulk sequencing of tumour samples coupled with computational deconvolution can be used to identify these populations and study cancer evolution. Existing computational methods for populations deconvolution are slow and/or potentially inaccurate when applied to large datasets generated by whole genome sequencing data.

resultsWe describe PyClone-VI, a computationally efficient Bayesian statistical method for inferring the clonal population structure of cancers. We demonstrate the utility of the method by analyzing data from 1717 patients from PCAWG study and 100 patients from the TRACERx study.

conclusionsOur proposed method is 10-100× times faster than existing methods, while providing results which are as accurate. Software implementing our method is freely available https://github.com/Roth-Lab/pyclone-vi .
