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

Aberrant DNA methylation is the most common molecular lesion that is crucial for the occurrence and development of cancer, but has thus far been underappreciated as a clinical tool for cancer classification, diagnosis or as a guide for therapeutic decisions. Partly, this has been due to a lack of proven algorithms that can use methylation data to stratify patients into clinically relevant risk groups and subtypes that are of prognostic importance. Here, we proposed a novel Bayesian model to capture the methylation signatures of different subtypes from paired normal and tumor methylation array data. Application of our model to synthetic and empirical data showed high clustering accuracy, and was able to identify the possible epigenetic cause of a cancer subtype.
