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

All cell lineages accumulate mutations over time, increasing the probability that some lineages eventually become malignant. Many of the processes responsible for generating mutations leave a characteristic footprint in the genome that allows their presence to be detected. However, the mutational pattern in a tumour is usually the combined result of multiple mutational processes being at work simultaneously, and the problem of disentangling the different footprints and their relative impact then becomes a deconvolution problem. Several algorithms have been developed for this purpose, most of them involving a factorisation of the mutation count matrix into two non-negative matrices, representing, respectively, the underlying mutational signatures and the relative exposure to these signatures. Here, we introduce the StarSignDNA algorithm for mutational signature analysis, which offers efficient re-fitting and
