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

Clonal lineage inference ("tumor phylogenetics") has become a crucial tool for making sense of somatic evolution processes that underlie cancer development and are increasingly recognized as part of normal tissue growth and aging. The inference of clonal lineage trees from single-cell sequence data offers particular promise for revealing processes of somatic evolution in unprecedented detail. However, most such tools are based on fairly restrictive models of the types of mutation events observed in somatic evolution and of the processes by which they develop. The present work seeks to enhance the power and versatility of tools for single-cell lineage reconstruction by making more comprehensive use of the range of molecular variant types by which tumors evolve. We introduce Sc-TUSV-ext, an integer linear programming-based tumor phylogeny reconstruction method that, for the first time, integrates single nucleotide variants, copy number alterations, and structural variations into clonal lineage reconstruction from single-cell DNA sequencing data. We show on synthetic data that accounting for these variant types collectively leads to improved accuracy in clonal lineage reconstruction relative to prior methods that consider only subsets of the variant types. We further demonstrate the effectiveness of real data in resolving clonal evolution in the presence of multiple variant types, providing a path toward more comprehensive insight into how various forms of somatic mutability collectively shape tissue development.
