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

motivationCancer is caused by the accumulation of somatic mutations in multiple pathways, in which driver mutations are typically of the properties of high coverage and high exclusivity in patients. Identifying cancer driver genes has a pivotal role in understanding the mechanisms of oncogenesis and treatment.

resultsHere, we introduced MaxCLK, an algorithm for identifying cancer driver genes, which was developed by an integrated analysis of somatic mutation data and protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and further improved by an information entropy index. Tested on pancancer and single cancers, MaxCLK outperformed other existing methods with higher accuracy. About pancancer, we predicted 154 driver genes and 787 driver modules. The analysis of co-occurrence and exclusivity between modules and pathways reveals the correlation of their combinations. Overall, our study has deepened the understanding of driver mechanism in PPI topology and found novel driver genes. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The source codes for MaxCLK are freely available at https://github.com/ShandongUniversityMasterMa/MaxCLK-main.
