RaggedExperiment: the missing link between genomic ranges and matrices in Bioconductor.
Article in Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 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
summaryThe RaggedExperiment R / Bioconductor package provides lossless representation of disparate genomic ranges across multiple specimens or cells, in conjunction with efficient and flexible calculations of rectangular-shaped summaries for downstream analysis. Applications include statistical analysis of somatic mutations, copy number, methylation, and open chromatin data. RaggedExperiment is compatible with multimodal data analysis as a component of MultiAssayExperiment data objects, and simplifies data representation and transformation for software developers and analysts. MOTIVATION AND
resultsMeasurement of copy number, mutation, single nucleotide polymorphism, and other genomic attributes that may be stored as VCF files produce "ragged" genomic ranges data: i.e. across different genomic coordinates in each sample. Ragged data are not rectangular or matrix-like, presenting informatics challenges for downstream statistical analyses. We present the RaggedExperiment R/Bioconductor data structure for lossless representation of ragged genomic data, with associated reshaping tools for flexible and efficient calculation of tabular representations to support a wide range of downstream statistical analyses. We demonstrate its applicability to copy number and somatic mutation data across 33 TCGA cancer datasets.
