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

Identifying the molecular mechanisms related to genomic breakage is an important goal of cancer mechanism studies. Among diverse locations of structural variants, fusion genes, which have the breakpoints in the gene bodies and are typically identified from the split reads of RNA-seq data, can provide a highlighted structural variant resource for studying the genomic breakages with expression and potential pathogenic impacts. In this study, we developed FusionAI, which utilizes deep learning to predict gene fusion breakpoints based on DNA sequence and let us identify fusion breakage code and genomic context. FusionAI leverages the known fusion breakpoints to provide a prediction model of the fusion genes from the primary genomic sequences via deep learning, thereby helping researchers a more accurate selection of fusion genes and better understand genomic breakage.
