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

motivationCopy number alterations (CNAs) are a significant driver in cancer growth and development, but remain poorly characterized on the single cell level. Although genome evolution in cancer cells is Markovian through evolutionary time, CNAs are not Markovian along the genome. However, existing methods call copy number profiles with Hidden Markov Models or change point detection algorithms based on changes in observed read depth, corrected by genome content and do not account for the stochastic evolutionary process.

resultsWe present a theoretical framework to use tumor evolutionary history to accurately call CNAs in a principled manner. To model the tumor evolutionary process and account for technical noise from low coverage single-cell whole genome sequencing data, we developed SCONCE, a method based on a Hidden Markov Model to analyze read depth data from tumor cells using matched normal cells as negative controls. Using a combination of public data sets and simulations, we show SCONCE accurately decodes copy number profiles, and provides a useful tool for understanding tumor evolution. AVAILABILITYAND IMPLEMENTATION: SCONCE is implemented in C++11 and is freely available from https://github.com/NielsenBerkeleyLab/sconce. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
