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

Computational modeling and analysis of biomolecular network models annotated with omics data are emerging as a versatile tool for designing personalized therapies. Current endeavors aimed at employing in silico models towards personalized cancer therapeutics remain limited in providing all-in-one approach that ascertains actionable targets, re-positions FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved drugs, furnishes quantitative cues on therapy responses such as efficacy and cytotoxic effect, and identifies novel drug combinations. Here we propose "CanSeer"-a methodology for developing personalized therapeutics. CanSeer employs patient-specific genetic alterations and RNA-seq data to annotate in silico models followed by dynamical network analyses towards assessment of treatment responses. To exemplify, three use cases involving paired samples, unpaired samples, and cancer samples only, of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) patients are provided. CanSeer reveals the effectiveness of repositioned drugs along with the identification of several novel LUSC treatment combinations including Afuresertib + Palbociclib, Dinaciclib + Trametinib, Afatinib + Oxaliplatin, Ulixertinib + Olaparib, etc.
