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

motivationTumor viruses account for ∼10% of cancer diagnoses. Virally induced tumorigenesis is understood as direct signaling through oncogenes such as E6 and E7 genes in the case of human papillomavirus. Furthermore, pathogen characteristics such as viral oncogene dose may impact the disease course. To our knowledge, no tool has been proposed to assess the intra-viral copy number alterations that define the gene dose of viral oncogenes and associated suppressive pathways native to the pathogen's normal life cycle.

resultsWe propose an R package, "ELViS," that analyzes viral copy number changes from DNA sequencing of whole viral genomes. The method adjusts for viral load with 2D transformation and segmentation to offer the relative viral gene doses. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The ELViS R package is available from https://bioconductor.org/packages/ELViS. This article used controlled access data from dbGaP (phs001713.v1.p1).
