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

summaryHundreds of gene expression signatures have been developed during the last two decades. However, due to the multitude of development procedures and sometimes a lack of explanation for their implementation, it can become challenging to apply the original method on custom data. Moreover, at present, there is no unified and tidy interface to compute signature scores with different single sample enrichment methods. For these reasons, we developed hacksig, an R package intended as a unified framework to obtain single sample scores with a tidy output as well as a collection of manually curated gene signatures and methods from cancer transcriptomics literature. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The hacksig R package is freely available on CRAN (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=hacksig) under the MIT license. The source code can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/Acare/hacksig. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
