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

Although technological advances improved the identification of structural variants (SVs) in the human genome, their interpretation remains challenging. Several methods utilize individual mechanistic principles like the deletion of coding sequence or 3D genome architecture disruptions. However, a comprehensive tool using the broad spectrum of available annotations is missing. Here, we describe CADD-SV, a method to retrieve and integrate a wide set of annotations to predict the effects of SVs. Previously, supervised learning approaches were limited due to a small number and biased set of annotated pathogenic or benign SVs. We overcome this problem by using a surrogate training objective, the Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion (CADD) of functional variants. We use human- and chimpanzee-derived SVs as proxy-neutral and contrast them with matched simulated variants as proxy-deleterious, an approach that has proven powerful for short sequence variants. Our tool computes summary statistics over diverse variant annotations and uses random forest models to prioritize deleterious structural variants. The resulting CADD-SV scores correlate with known pathogenic and rare population variants. We further show that we can prioritize somatic cancer variants as well as noncoding variants known to affect gene expression. We provide a website and offline-scoring tool for easy application of CADD-SV.
