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

backgroundThe identification and characterisation of somatic cancer driver mutations in the non-coding genome remains challenging.

objectiveTo broadly characterise non-coding driver mutations for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

designUsing mutation calls from whole-genome sequence data in PDACs and genome-scale maps of accessible gene regulatory regions in normal-derived and tumour-derived pancreatic samples, we analysed enrichment of non-coding mutations in gene regulatory regions relevant to normal-derived and tumour-derived pancreatic contexts. Functional follow-up of potential driver mutations was performed using chromatin interaction analyses, massively parallel reporter assays (MPRA) and targeted analysis of selected non-coding somatic mutations (NCSMs).

resultsWe first created genome-scale maps of accessible chromatin regions (ACRs) and histone modification marks (HMMs) in pancreatic cell lines and purified pancreatic acinar and duct cells. Integration with whole-genome mutation calls from 506 PDACs revealed 314 ACRs/HMMs significantly enriched with 3614 NCSMs. Chromatin interaction analysis identified 416 potential target genes and MPRA revealed 178 NCSMs impacting reporter activity (19.45% of those tested). Targeted luciferase validation confirmed negative effects on gene regulatory activity for NCSMs near

conclusionOur integrative approach provides a catalogue of potential non-coding driver mutations and nominates
