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

backgroundCopy-number variants (CNVs) have been recognized as one of the major causes of genetic disorders. Reliable detection of CNVs from genome sequencing data has been a strong demand for disease research. However, current software for detecting CNVs has high false-positive rates, which needs further improvement.

methodsHere, we proposed a novel and post-processing approach for CNVs prediction (CNV-P), a machine-learning framework that could efficiently remove false-positive fragments from results of CNVs detecting tools. A series of CNVs signals such as read depth (RD), split reads (SR) and read pair (RP) around the putative CNV fragments were defined as features to train a classifier.

resultsThe prediction results on several real biological datasets showed that our models could accurately classify the CNVs at over 90% precision rate and 85% recall rate, which greatly improves the performance of state-of-the-art algorithms. Furthermore, our results indicate that CNV-P is robust to different sizes of CNVs and the platforms of sequencing.

conclusionsOur framework for classifying high-confident CNVs could improve both basic research and clinical diagnosis of genetic diseases.
