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

Somatic DNA copy number variations (CNVs) are prevalent in cancer and can drive cancer progression, albeit with often uncharacterized roles in altering cell signaling states. Here, we integrate genomic and proteomic data for 5,598 tumor samples to identify CNVs leading to aberrant signal transduction. The resulting associations recapitulate known kinase-substrate relationships, and further network analysis prioritizes likely causal genes. Of the 303 significant associations we identify from the pan-tumor analysis, 43% are replicated in cancer cell lines, including 44 robust gene-phosphosite associations identified across multiple tumor types. Several predicted regulators of hippo signaling are experimentally validated. Using RNAi, CRISPR, and drug screening data, we find evidence of kinase addiction in cancer cell lines, identifying inhibitors for targeting of kinase-dependent cell lines. We propose copy number status of genes as a useful predictor of differential impact of kinase inhibition, a strategy that may be of use in the future for anticancer therapies.
