CIRCNV: Detection of CNVs Based on a Circular Profile of Read Depth from Sequencing Data.
Article in Biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Copy number variation (CNV) is a common type of structural variation in the human genome. Accurate detection of CNVs from tumor genomes can provide crucial information for the study of tumor genesis and cancer precision diagnosis. However, the contamination of normal genomes in tumor genomes and the crude profiles of the read depth make such a task difficult. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach, called CIRCNV, for the detection of CNVs from sequencing data. CIRCNV is an extension of our previously developed method CNV-LOF, which uses local outlier factors to predict CNVs. Comparatively, CIRCNV can be performed on individual tumor samples and has the following two new features: (1) it transfers the read depth profile from a line shape to a circular shape via a polar coordinate transformation, in order to improve the efficiency of the read depth (RD) profile for the detection of CNVs; and (2) it performs a second round of CNV declaration based on the truth circular RD profile, which is recovered by estimating tumor purity. We test and validate the performance of CIRCNV based on simulation and real sequencing data and perform comparisons with several peer methods. The results demonstrate that CIRCNV can obtain superior performance in terms of sensitivity and precision. We expect that our proposed method will be a supplement to existing methods and become a routine tool in the field of variation analysis of tumor genomes.
