MSIMEP: Predicting microsatellite instability from microarray DNA methylation tumor profiles.
Article in iScience, 2023. 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
Deficiency in DNA MMR activity results in tumors with a hypermutator phenotype, termed microsatellite instability (MSI). Beyond its utility in Lynch syndrome screening algorithms, today MSI has gained importance as predictive biomarker for various anti-PD-1 therapies across many different tumor types. Over the past years, many computational methods have emerged to infer MSI using either DNA- or RNA-based approaches. Considering this together with the fact that MSI-high tumors frequently exhibit a hypermethylated phenotype, herein we developed and validated MSIMEP, a computational tool for predicting MSI status from microarray DNA methylation tumor profiles of colorectal cancer samples. We demonstrated that MSIMEP optimized and reduced models have high performance in predicting MSI in different colorectal cancer cohorts. Moreover, we tested its consistency in other tumor types with high prevalence of MSI such as gastric and endometrial cancers. Finally, we demonstrated better performance of both MSIMEP models vis-à-vis a MLH1 promoter methylation-based one in colorectal cancer.
