Landscape of human protein-coding somatic mutations across tissues and individuals.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Although somatic mutations are fundamentally important to human biology, disease, and aging, many outstanding questions remain about their rates, spectrum, and determinants in apparently healthy tissues. Here, we performed high-coverage exome sequencing on 265 samples from 14 GTEx donors sampled for a median of 17.5 tissues per donor (spanning 46 total tissues). Using a novel probabilistic method tailored to the unique structure of our data, we identified 8,470 somatic variants. We leverage our compendium of somatic mutations to quantify the burden of deleterious somatic variants among tissues and individuals, identify molecular features such as chromatin accessibility that exhibit significantly elevated somatic mutation rates, provide novel biological insights into mutational mechanisms, and infer developmental trajectories based on patterns of multi-tissue somatic mosaicism. Our data provides a high-resolution portrait of somatic mutations across genes, tissues, and individuals.
