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

In diseases such as cancer, the design of new therapeutic strategies requires extensive, costly, and unfortunately sometimes deadly testing to reveal life threatening off-target effects. We hypothesized that the disease specificity of targets can be systematically learned for all genes by jointly evaluating complementary molecular measurements of healthy tissues using a hierarchical Bayesian modeling approach. Our method, BayesTS, integrates protein and gene expression evidence and includes tunable parameters to moderate tissue essentiality. Applied to all protein coding genes, BayesTS outperforms alternative strategies to define therapeutic targets and nominates previously unknown targets while allowing for incorporation of new types of modalities. To expand target repertoires, we show that extension of BayesTS to splicing antigens and combinatorial target pairs results in more specific targets for therapy. We expect that BayesTS will facilitate improved target prioritization for oncology drug development, ultimately leading to the discovery of more effective and safer treatments.
