Relating mutational signature exposures to clinical data in cancers via signeR 2.0.
Article in BMC bioinformatics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundCancer is a collection of diseases caused by the deregulation of cell processes, which is triggered by somatic mutations. The search for patterns in somatic mutations, known as mutational signatures, is a growing field of study that has already become a useful tool in oncology. Several algorithms have been proposed to perform one or both the following two tasks: (1) de novo estimation of signatures and their exposures, (2) estimation of the exposures of each one of a set of pre-defined signatures.
resultsOur group developed signeR, a Bayesian approach to both of these tasks. Here we present a new version of the software, signeR 2.0, which extends the possibilities of previous analyses to explore the relation of signature exposures to other data of clinical relevance. signeR 2.0 includes a user-friendly interface developed using the R-Shiny framework and improvements in performance. This version allows the analysis of submitted data or public TCGA data, which is embedded in the package for easy access.
conclusionsigneR 2.0 is a valuable tool to generate and explore exposure data, both from de novo or fitting analyses and is an open-source R package available through the Bioconductor project at ( https://doi.org/10.18129/B9.bioc.signeR ).
