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

Cancer is rarely the straightforward consequence of an abnormality in a single gene, but rather reflects a complex interplay of many genes, represented as gene modules. Here, we leverage the recent advances of model-agnostic interpretation approach and develop CGMega, an explainable and graph attention-based deep learning framework to perform cancer gene module dissection. CGMega outperforms current approaches in cancer gene prediction, and it provides a promising approach to integrate multi-omics information. We apply CGMega to breast cancer cell line and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, and we uncover the high-order gene module formed by ErbB family and tumor factors NRG1, PPM1A and DLG2. We identify 396 candidate AML genes, and observe the enrichment of either known AML genes or candidate AML genes in a single gene module. We also identify patient-specific AML genes and associated gene modules. Together, these results indicate that CGMega can be used to dissect cancer gene modules, and provide high-order mechanistic insights into cancer development and heterogeneity.
