DriverFuse: An R package for analysis of next-generation sequencing datasets to identify cancer driver fusion genes.
Article in PloS one, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We developed the DriverFuse package to integrate orthogonal data types such as Structural Variants (SV) and Copy Number Variations (CNV) to characterize fusion genes in cancer datasets. A fusion gene is reported as a driver or passenger fusion gene, based on mapping SV and CNV profiles. DriverFuse generates a fusion plot of fusion genes with their mapping SV, CNV profile, domain architecture and classification of its role in cancer. The analysis facilitates discrimination of driver fusions from passenger fusions. To demonstrate the utility of DriverFuse, we analyzed two datasets, one each for CCLE (Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia) for lung cancer and HCC1395BL for breast cancer. The analysis validates the driver fusion genes that are already reported for the datasets. Thus, DriverFuse is a valuable tool for studying the driver fusion genes in cancers, enabling the identification of recurrent complex rearrangements that provide intuitive insights into disease driver events.
