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

The current challenge in cancer research is to increase the resolution of driver prediction from gene-level to mutation-level, which is more closely aligned with the goal of precision cancer medicine. Improved methods to distinguish drivers from passengers are urgently needed to dig out driver mutations from increasing exome sequencing studies. Here, we developed an ensemble method, AI-Driver (AI-based driver classifier, https://github.com/hatchetProject/AI-Driver), to predict the driver status of somatic missense mutations based on 23 pathogenicity features. AI-Driver has the best overall performance compared with any individual tool and two cancer-specific driver predicting methods. We demonstrate the superior and stable performance of our model using four independent benchmarks. We provide pre-computed AI-Driver scores for all possible human missense variants (http://aidriver.maolab.org/) to identify driver mutations in the sea of somatic mutations discovered by personal cancer sequencing. We believe that AI-Driver together with pre-computed database will play vital important roles in the human cancer studies, such as identification of driver mutation in personal cancer genomes, discovery of targeting sites for cancer therapeutic treatments and prediction of tumor biomarkers for early diagnosis by liquid biopsy.
