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

Low-pass single-cell DNA sequencing technologies and algorithmic advancements have enabled haplotype-specific copy number calling on thousands of cells within tumors. However, measurement uncertainty may result in spurious CNAs inconsistent with realistic evolutionary constraints. We introduce evolution-aware copy number calling via deep reinforcement learning (CNRein). Our simulations demonstrate CNRein infers more accurate copy-number profiles and better recapitulates ground truth clonal structure than existing methods. On sequencing data of breast and ovarian cancer, CNRein produces more parsimonious solutions than existing methods while maintaining agreement with single-nucleotide variants. Additionally, CNRein shows consistency on a breast cancer patient sequenced with distinct low-pass technologies.
