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

summaryComputational cell-type deconvolution is an important analytic technique for modeling the compositional heterogeneity of bulk gene expression data. A conceptually new Bayesian approach to this problem, BayesPrism, has recently been proposed and has subsequently been shown to be superior in accuracy and robustness against model misspecifications by independent studies; however, given that BayesPrism relies on Gibbs sampling, it is orders of magnitude more computationally expensive than standard approaches. Here, we introduce the InstaPrism package which re-implements BayesPrism in a derandomized framework by replacing the time-consuming Gibbs sampling step with a fixed-point algorithm. We demonstrate that the new algorithm is effectively equivalent to BayesPrism while providing a considerable speed and memory advantage. Furthermore, the InstaPrism package is equipped with a precompiled, curated set of references tailored for a variety of cancer types, streamlining the deconvolution process. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The package InstaPrism is freely available at: https://github.com/humengying0907/InstaPrism. The source code and evaluation pipeline used in this paper can be found at: https://github.com/humengying0907/InstaPrismSourceCode.
